Commuters in Lawton should prepare to adjust their schedules tomorrow morning, as the Lawton Police Department has announced temporary traffic changes to facilitate an ongoing traffic investigation. According to a social media post by the Lawton Police Department, the Traffic Unit will be narrowing down I44 East to just one lane of traffic to conduct further inquiries related to a recent accident that resulted in injury.
The lane closure is set to occur from approximately 7:00 to 8:00 AM tomorrow. Commuters who typically travel on I44 East during this time frame should plan to start out their journeys earlier to avoid possible delays. The Lawton Police Department has asked the public to leave with this information in mind to ensure a smoother commute. They also issued their thanks in advance for the expected cooperation from motorists.
The Lawton Police Department has been proactive in communicating these changes to the public, clearly aiming to minimize any inconvenience caused by the closure. They advise "motorists to leave for their destinations with this information in mind." The one-hour timeframe suggests a hope to affect as few drivers as possible while still allowing the investigative team ample time to perform their tasks thoroughly.
