ARDMORE, Okla. (KXII) - The Oklahoma Department of Transportation said if something doesn’t change soon, drivers will see more and more frustrating traffic along I-35 in the coming decades.

ODOT said traffic on I-35 is getting worse, especially near Thackerville and between Oklahoma City and Purcell.

“It provides a vital connection between people, goods, services and helps link our market to the world.,” ODOT chief engineer Brian Taylor said. “Its importance can not be over exaggerated.”

Taylor called I-35 the backbone of Oklahoma’s economy, saying the highway is heavily used by trucks coming from Texas and Kansas.
