The tornado(s) & 7" rain of Late May apparently did a lot of them in. This detours traffic to already congested routes and there's nothing happening in the way of fixing them. Would like to hear what's in the works in regard to these closed roads.

Which ones are you referring too? Most likely OKC is who takes care of these so it may be awhile.
My mail complain is that you cannot go through between Council Rd and Cemetery Rd on SW 59th St. I live North of 59th so to access I-240 I now have to drive South to Hwy 152 and deal with the traffic to get to the new section of 152 that leads to I-240. Besides the bridges being out, the road from Cemetery Rd to Sara Rd is horrible.
There's 5 miles of road between Council and Cemetary roads and these roads are west of Council. Then you're talking about I-240 which is east of Council. What is your question? I don't get it.
Several of the roads between Council and Hwy 92 are closed due to bridge issues. This occurred due to the late May storms. SW 59th is in horrible shape between 92 and Sara and even if they repaired the bridge the road is on it's last legs. With the growth spurt in the area these are more than inconveniences for the residents in the area.
In answer to your question, anyone wanting to go East from Hwy 92 needs to plan to drive several miles extra and allow another 10 minutes due to the heavier traffic on the few open roads.
Edit to add that West Reno, SW 29th St are the other closed roads.
Why don't you just take 44th to 152 and squiggle on over to I-240. Don't forget that traffic in Oklahoma City is nothing compared to other major cities and that it'll help you to maybe leave 15 minutes earlier to adjust for everyday traffic patterns.
With no light at SW 44th and Mustang Rd you're idea just adds to the delay.
I just don't want the bridge work on W. Reno, SW 15th, SW 59th to be put off till they get finished spending our money on downtown OKC.
ljbab728, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on the subject. Have a nice day.
I wish OKC would just de annex these areas to Mustang and Yukon depending on proximity.
Hey I know people with Yukon address, Mustang schools, OKC utilities and city limits, so it could be worse. I feel like I have the same ordeal. My address is OKC, but where I live it's surprising I don't have a Mustang address. I'm a half mile past actual Mustang city limits, and we have Moore schools. doesn't make any sense.
The Mustang School system has been noted for it's quality for decades. 25 yrs ago the Mustang school district was much smaller than it is today. Thanks to then Superintendent B.F. Rowley the district expanded to include areas of expected future growth. Mustang Education Ctr Mustang, OK School Boundaries Map & School Profile
I knew Bill Rowley and his wife, Willa Mae, and liked him very much. He was an excellent superintendent and did much to improve the school district including building new schools within that district. I don't, however, remember anything he did to expand the boundaries of the district. Do you have information showing that?
I think I know the addition where you're talking about. We looked at a house right at the entrance there on the East side of the street that was for sale in 2011. I liked the area there. Quiet & good size lots.
Yes it's very quiet and everyone has a decent amount of land. I have great
Neighbors so that's made it very nice moving in here.
No I googled it but nothing came up. I read about it in the local paper back then. Rowley was superintendent from 1971 to 1990.
I don't intend to look for any further articles about it since it's less than an archival type item. I read it in the paper at the time. It was a far sighted thing to do and Mr Rowley was a great asset to our town. Of course you could contact Mrs Rowley if you'd like.
I'm certainly not going to try to contact Willa Mae about something like that. I'm not saying positively that there was no change in the area of the school district but I never remember anything about it during all of the years I lived there. I was there during all of Bill's tenure as superintendent and he certainly oversaw a great deal of expansion of the number of schools and facilities within the district boundaries.
