The following Oklahoma Turnpike Authority capital plan and repair projects are slated to start Monday and Tuesday, weather permitting:
I-44/Turner Turnpike narrows near Sapulpa in Creek County
Westbound I-44/Turner Turnpike will have one lane closed at W. 111th St. (mm 214) on the west side of Sapulpa starting at 8 a.m. Tuesday through late winter 2025 for emergency bridge repairs to the county bridge that crosses above turnpike traffic. W. 111th St. will be closed between S. 152nd W. Ave. and S. Willow Lane for the duration of the bridge repairs. A signed detour route will be in place for local county road traffic. The $596,608 emergency repair was awarded in December to Built Right Construction LLC. Work includes replacing bridge beams and a portion of the bridge deck and concrete rails that were damaged in a previous semi-tractor-trailer fire underneath the bridge.
SH-351/Muskogee Turnpike narrows south of Muskogee
A $2.7 million bridge rehabilitation project is scheduled to begin on SH-351/Muskogee Turnpike over E. Davis Field Rd. (mm 40-42) just south of Muskogee in Muskogee County at 8 a.m. Jan. 27, weather permitting, with work continuing through summer 2025. The project was awarded in November to Paradigm Construction & Engineering Inc. Motorists can expect intermittent turnpike lane closures initially and by early spring both directions will be narrowed to one lane each way with lane shifts when demolition work begins on the southbound bridge. E. Davis Field Rd. will be closed underneath the bridges between S. 45th St. and S. 35th St./Country Club Rd. starting Jan. 27 and continuing through completion in summer 2025. A signed detour is in place for local traffic.
