SH-9W narrowed at I-35 in Norman through 2026

SH-9W is narrowed to one lane in each direction at I-35 near Goldsby through 2026 as part of an ongoing interchange construction project in the area. 

The overall project will convert the I-35 and SH-9W interchange into a Diverging Diamond Interchange, widen I-35 to six lanes between SH-9W and SH-74/Main St. in Goldsby and add two roundabouts along SH-9W service roads through 2026:

  • Northbound and southbound I-35 will be intermittently narrowed between SH-9W in Norman and Main St. in Goldsby through 2026 for corridor widening and an intersection improvement project.
  • Drivers should use caution as I-35 lanes have a much shorter merge area.
  • All lanes of northbound and southbound N.W. 12th Ave. are shifted between SH-9W and Lamar Rd. through July. Drivers can access southbound I-35 from N.W. 12th Ave. but will not be able to use N.W. 12th Ave. as a service road.
