OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority is considering a long-range plan that could include widening the Turner Turnpike and improving the Will Rogers Turnpike and other facilities, transportation spokeswoman Terri Angier said Tuesday. The action comes as the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority wraps up the $1.3 billion Driving Forward, a turnpike expansion and improvement project that began under former Gov. Mary Fallin. It included expanding the Gilcrease Expressway in Tulsa and building a new turnpike, the Kickapoo, in eastern Oklahoma County. Driving Forward was funded by toll increases.
