Tulsa World By Curtis Killman September 26, 2020

Motorists will have a little more room to navigate on the Turner Turnpike near Tulsa when a nearly $45 million construction project to widen the highway and make other road improvements is completed.

The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority approved a contract this week with Sherwood Construction Co. Inc. of Tulsa to fund work on a four-mile stretch of the highway.

The project will widen the four-lane turnpike to six lanes beginning near the Creek Turnpike interchange at Sapulpa and extending east nearly to Tulsa.

The improvements will be similar to the completed widening of the turnpike to six lanes from four between Sapulpa and Bristow. View the full article: Tulsaworld.com
