Apr. 13—A major construction project is set to shift into high gear during the coming week along U.S. Highway 69/George Nigh Expressway in McAlester.

The project will result in only two lanes of traffic for the normally four-lane highway as work is underway during most of the project.

Officials are advising everyone to be cautious as work gets underway on the busy highway.

With preliminary work already started, construction on the main part of the project is expected to fully begin once the initial tasks are completed.

"It's beginning with a lane closure on the north end to repair a shoulder," said T.J. Gerlach, public information manager for the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
