Oklahoma approves major upgrades to busy metro interchange

A $75 million project starts this summer at Interstate 35 and Interstate 240 KOCO By Alyse Jones Jan 9, 2023 OKLAHOMA CITY —Oklahoma just approved major upgrades to a busy metro interchange. A $75 million project starts this summer at Interstate 35 and Interstate 240. The project will bring everything on I-240 up to standard by fixing on and off ramps, rebuilding and paving frontage roads and adding a turnaround on 59th Street, but it won’t come without some painful closures. "This is, again, like the 235-44 interchange. One of those interchanges that has needed updating for a very long time. With our funding in the past, they couldn’t always go and attack a full interchange with the amount it cost to bring one up to date and so, we’ve had to do this project in phases," said Trenton January, district four engineer at the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
