Construction is expected to wrap up on a busy stretch of Interstate 35 by the end of July.

Lisa Shearer-Salim, an Oklahoma Turnpike Authority spokesperson, said the left lane of I-35 is expected to remain closed until the end of the month near the Kilpatrick Turnpike on-ramp that allows motorists to merge onto the northbound interstate lanes.

Shearer-Salim said the closure is part of the agency’s planned improvements to the eastbound John Kilpatrick Turnpike exit to I-35, which will add a 10-foot shoulder to the ramp and a 12-foot acceleration lane to help improve merging.
