Oklahoma has its first four-level interchange, with the completion of a three-year, $105 million project to widen I-235.
The project began in 2018 to widen I-235/U.S. 77 to six lanes, eight in some places, at I-44 at Oklahoma City.
The I-44 interchange was reconstructed with two new flyover ramps to move traffic from northbound I-235 to westbound I-44 and from eastbound I-44 to northbound I-235/U.S. 77.
The flyover ramps eliminated two cloverleaf ramps. The two other cloverleaf ramps were widened and reconstructed.
The I-235 corridor’s reconstruction has occurred in phases over the past 11 years at a total cost of about $365 million. Another $16 million worth of work is planned for 2023 to reconstruct the I-44 to U.S. 77 ramp and provide a direct connection to North Lincoln Boulevard.
