The family of the late Toby Keith will be honored by the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority after state lawmakers passed a resolution to name the new east‑west connector turnpike in the Norman area for the country music icon, whose family has given permission despite his earlier opposition to the toll project, a spokesperson for the singer‑songwriter confirmed for The Oklahoman.
