Finance! Yahoo By Cathy Spaulding, Muskogee Phoenix, Okla. March 28, 2023 Mar. 28—Oklahoma Department of Transportation confirmed progress on work to widen U.S. 69 (32nd Street) south of Okmulgee Avenue to six lanes, plus occasional center turn lanes. ODOT Engineer Chris Wallace said the highway between Okmulgee and Border avenues is to be widened, with construction starting in late 2025. He said the project could take a year and a half. "We are actually working on additional rights of way right now for the project," Wallace said. "There's actually not a lot of new rights of way that we'll need. Most of it is places to relocate utilities. That is ongoing right now."
