I-40 now OPEN in Midwest City/Del City area following bridge removal

East and westbound I-40 are now open between Shields Blvd. and Choctaw Rd. after removal of the Engle Rd. bridge over I-40 just west of Douglas Blvd. Westbound I-40 reopened to traffic Sunday morning, while eastbound I-40 reopened at Sunday night. 

While the work was completed early, drivers should use caution in the area as this is still an active work zone.

I-40 narrows at Douglas Blvd. in Midwest City through 2025

Eastbound and westbound I-40 will be narrowed to two lanes in each direction between Town Center Dr. (mm 157C) in Midwest City and the I-240 interchange with lane shifts and intermittent ramp closures through 2025. Drivers should use caution as there are no shoulders or merge distances, or use I-240 and US-62/N. 23rd St. This is a two-year highway interchange reconstruction and 6-mile interstate widening project.
