The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA) will add cable barriers to the Cherokee Turnpike.

The $11-million project will cover 32 miles between Chouteau and the Arkansas state line.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol shared a video earlier this year of a cable barrier preventing a wreck when a semi slid off I-40 near Vian during a winter storm.
