One lane of the county road leading to Lake Oologah's only bridge crossing should open by November, said an Oklahoma Department of Transportation spokesperson.

ODOT closed four miles of East 300 Road, also called Winganon Road, in May. The closure is the final phase of a $22.3 million project ODOT began in 2023 to reconstruct the Winganon Causeway, the only place to cross Lake Oologah along its 219 miles of shoreline.

Local traffic coming from Highway 169 may use East 310 and South 4130 roads to access Winganon Road from the west. Drivers east of the lake can still get to Allen's Point RV Park via the causeway bridge, still reduced to one lane, with flaggers and a stoplight.
