For those navigating the streets of Tulsa, there's a slew of changes to daily commutes to keep in mind. Commencing Tuesday, changes to SH-97, especially around US-412 in Sand Springs, are to be anticipated. As reported by the Oklahoma's Department of Transportation, drivers will experience shifted lanes on SH-97/Wilson Ave. between South Main St. and West 2nd St., aimed at facilitating an ongoing project that's set to continue through November 2025.
Adjustments include the redirection of north and southbound SH-97 traffic to new pavement between US-412 and Morrow Rd. – Morrow Rd. itself will see a closure at SH-97. Additionally, Wekiwa Rd. will be restricted to a single lane in each direction at its intersection with SH-97. To the relief of some travelers, the eastbound US-412 on-ramp from SH-97 is set to reopen by late Tuesday, according to the Oklahoma's Department of Transportation same source.
Shifting gears to the area around I-244, motorists will find the eastbound lanes narrowed to a single lane at the US-75 junction, extending through to October of 2025. This adjustment serves a bridge rehabilitation project with a significant timeframe. Not far off, also within reach of these changes, the I-44 ramp to US-75 closing Tuesday night from 7 p.m. to midnight for overhead sign removal, and the I-44 and US-75 interchange is in the midst of an improvement project that's expecting to stretch out until the summer of 2028, as per the Oklahoma's Department of Transportation.
Significant interstate intersections aren't the only areas marked by construction. Within Catoosa, the I-44, SH-66 interchange is under a continuous improvement process set to last through 2026. Due to closures and lane narrowing, drivers will have to navigate detours like the one involving the westbound I-44 off-ramp to northbound SH-66. And bridge rehabilitation efforts have stripped down US-75 to one lane in each direction between 56th St. N. and 66th St. N., with this configuration expected through the summer of 2026, as detailed by Oklahoma's Department of Transportation.
Drivers near Glenpool on US-75 will see lane shifts and narrowed lanes at 141st St. due to bridge work, lasting through October 2025. Ramps are closed and speed limits are lower in the area. Nearby, SH-66 at Bird Creek near Catoosa is down to one lane in each direction until early 2026 for a bridge replacement, as per the Oklahoma's Department of Transportation.
