Work begins at US-177 and SH-270 in Pottawatomie County Monday, April 18

This project is weather permitting:

Drivers can expect lane shifts and a reduced speed limit at the intersection of US-177 and SH-270/Westech Rd. between Dale and Shawnee in Pottawatomie County beginning Monday, April 18, for work as part of a resurfacing project that continues through early summer 2022.

US-177 will be narrowed to one lane in each direction between I-40 and SH-270/Westech Rd. daily through much of the project for paving operations. The eastbound I-40 on- and off-ramps at US-177 will also be intermittently closed later in the project. These closures will be announced as the work is scheduled.

Motorists should be prepared for travel delays in the work zone and be alert to daily lane shifts, uneven pavement and temporary lane markings.

The Oklahoma Transportation Commission awarded the more than $362,000 contract for this project to H & G Paving Contractors, of Muskogee.
