Unforeseen challenges hamper highway projects

The Ada News By Randy Mitchell Sep 13, 2022


A highway improvement project on state Highway 19 has been delayed by unforeseen challenges, but should be completed soon, according to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.

Bill Wilkinson, ODOT Division 3 construction engineer, said a lot of utility problems delayed the project by maybe a couple of months.

However, the project is estimated to be completed by the end of September, barring any further delays, he said.

Currently, ODOT is improving the highway from Pickett to Gaar Corner.

Improvements include adding shoulders, rumble strips, improving slopes and drainage and adding turn lanes where needed. In addition, the road will be made more level by shaving down hills and filling in valleys. Also, certain curves in the road will be made less sharp.
