MCCLAIN COUNTY, Okla. (KFOR) – The Oklahoma Department of Transportation will host a virtual open house to obtain public input on proposed construction of an interchange in Purcell. The proposed construction is for an Interstate 35 interchange at State Highway 74/Grant Street on the north side of Purcell, according to an ODOT news release. “There is currently no interstate access at SH-74/Grant St. and the existing interchange at US-77/Green Ave. (mm 95) lacks a connection to southbound I-35,” the news release states. ODOT and Purcell city officials developed three construction alternatives for a new I-35 access point at Grant Street that would “improve emergency vehicle access, reduce incident response time, improve connectivity to the regional transportation network and support continued growth in Purcell,” the news release states.
