A section of Interstate 40 will close this weekend from its junction at Interstate 35 to Choctaw Road.

The closure is part of a $170 million project to widen I-40 and make improvements at the Douglas Boulevard interchange, according to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.

"This closure is necessary to remove an outdated bridge over I-40 in the safest and most timely manner possible. Removal of the Engle Rd. bridge, which has been closed to traffic for several years, allows the necessary room for the widening of I-40 to six lanes," said Trenton January, ODOT District 4 engineer.
