Construction in Oklahoma City is causing lane narrowings and ramp closures on major highways, including I-40 between I-240 and Town Center Dr., I-35 between Memorial Rd. and US-77/2nd St., and I-44 near N.W. 10th St. and SH-152/Airport Rd., with many disruptions lasting through 2025. Drivers are advised to expect limited shoulders, short merge distances, and consider alternate routes such as I-240, US-62/N. 23rd St., or other local streets, according to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.

These ongoing projects aim to improve highways and bridges but will continue to affect daily commutes and traffic flow. Travelers should plan ahead, allow extra time, and explore alternate routes to avoid construction delays, as reported by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.

US-270 near Calumet has one lane open with temporary signals, and work is expected to continue through summer 2025. All lanes of east and westbound SH-152 between Banner Rd. and Cemetery Rd. are closed, with detours using US-81 to I-40 to SH-4 or US-81 to SH-37 to SH-4. New lanes and off-ramps are being added as part of ongoing construction, as stated by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
