I-35 ramps close, lanes narrow near Thackerville in Love County nightly next week

The following closures will take place next week, beginning Monday night while crews install barrier wall as part of a corridor widening project and interchange reconstruction:

• The southbound I-35 on and off-ramps to SH-153 and Rogers Rd./Winstar Blvd. will be intermittently closed from 10 p.m. Monday night to 3 a.m. Tuesday.
• The northbound I-35 on and off-ramps to SH-153 and Rogers Rd./Winstar Blvd. will be intermittently closed from 10 p.m. Tuesday to 3 a.m. Wednesday.
• North and southbound I-35 will be narrowed between Rogers Rd./Winstar Blvd., and SH-153 in Thackerville from 8 p.m. Monday to 8 a.m. Tuesday, and continuing nightly through Thursday.

The project will continue widening I-35 to six lanes and reconstruct the SH-153 bridge and interchange.The nearly $40 million project was awarded by the Oklahoma Transportation Commission to Duit Construction and is estimated to take a year, weather permitting.

• Some temporary lane closures may be necessary, but two lanes of I-35 will remain open on the weekdays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and on the weekends from 8 a.m. Friday through 8 a.m. Monday.
• I-35 on and off-ramps will generally remain open; however, some short-term closures may be necessary during certain phases of construction.

Drivers should use caution through the work zone, observe the posted speed limit or locate an alternate route such as US-77. As the project progresses, additional closures will be sent. Travelers can sign up to receive emails via the ODOT website at https://oklahoma.gov/odot.html.
