For those commuting through Oklahoma City, brace yourselves for ongoing construction that might just dictate your late-night and early-morning travels. A recent release from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation confirms major highways like I-40 and I-35 will continue to see narrowed lanes and ramp closures until 2025. The work on I-40 at I-44 persists through fall, squeezing traffic between Meridian Ave. and May Ave. from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. nightly for bridge and pavement rehabilitation.

Midwest City hasn't dodged the bullet either. Seeing driving through I-40 turned into a crawl, traffic is narrowed to two lanes each way between I-240 and Town Center Dr., where like a watchful hawk, drivers must navigate without shoulders or adequate merge distances. I-44 travelers are in a similar boat, with the N.W. 10th St. ramps closing for a City of Oklahoma City bridge project through late fall, according to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
