Commuters in the Oklahoma City area are facing a slew of construction-related disruptions, with several highway projects narrowing lanes and closing ramps across major roads and interchanges. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation has announced significant narrowing and closures on US-77, I-40, I-35, and other state highways, which are set to impact daily commutes and travel plans until as late as 2026, according to an ODOT advisory released last week.

Effective immediately, travel on US-77 will face intermittent lane closures nightly through early November for resurfacing, while the eastbound I-40 off-ramp to northbound US-81 will shut down Thursday morning it won't reopen until 6 a.m. Friday, causing potential delays for morning traffic. Meanwhile, north and southbound I-35 and ramps between Memorial Rd. and US-77/2nd St. in Edmond will be periodically narrowed through summer 2025 as crews work on resurfacing and bridge upgrades.
