Public input needed on proposed I-35 interchange at SH-74 in Purcell, McClain County

Wednesday, January 27, 2021

Media Advisory

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is hosting a virtual open house to provide updates and get public input on proposed construction of a new I-35 interchange at SH-74/Grant St. on the north side of Purcell.    

There is currently no interstate access at SH-74/Grant St. and the existing interchange at US-77/Green Ave. (mm 95) lacks a connection to southbound I-35. The department, in partnership with the City of Purcell, has developed three alternatives for construction of a new I-35 access point at SH-74/Grant St. to improve emergency vehicle access, reduce incident response time, improve connectivity to the regional transportation network and support continued growth in Purcell. The alternatives include construction of a partial or full diamond interchange at SH-74/Grant St. and modification of the existing US-77/Green Ave. ramps.

Right-of-way acquisition and utility relocation is scheduled to begin in Federal Fiscal Year 2022 and construction is expected to begin in 2025.
