The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is entering the final stretch of its U.S. 169 widening project, with a series of carefully timed closures and paving work scheduled between August 5 and 11.
Crews will temporarily close southbound ramps at 86th Street and 76th Street, shift traffic lanes, and remove remaining barriers to prepare for asphalt paving.
These changes will occur mostly at night to minimize disruption, while daytime work will focus on laying new pavement across the southbound lanes.
By the weekend, crews will complete paving the shoulders in both directions, setting the stage for the final step: lane striping and full reopening.
All northbound lanes are expected to reopen on Monday, August 10, followed by all southbound lanes on Tuesday, August 11.
Once complete, drivers will see smoother traffic flow and expanded capacity along this busy corridor.
