Oklahoma transportation officials recently celebrated the opening of the I-235/I-44 interchange in Oklahoma City after three years of highway construction.
This is a critical interchange for the state capital that moves nearly 100,000 vehicles daily between the northern portion of the metro area and the city’s center, according to a news release from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT).
This $105 million, three-year-long project widened I-235 to six lanes and up to eight lanes in some areas between N. 50th St. and N. 63rd St. The reconstruction includes 11 new bridges in the 1-mile-long work zone.
