I actually got on at I-35 because I just happed to be over there, and drove all the way around to the new section and got off at 152 where it swings south to by the airport to go into Mustang. On the way back however there was no access yet to Kilpatrick, so I had to take the "old" way back on 152/Airport road to I-44.
Does anyone know if SB is open yet?
this weekend i was able to take it the full lengh. they now have a lane open to get to 152 Eastbound. still a lot of construction left to do, and you have to drive 35 for a good half mile. but you now can travel the whole way, well atleast this weekend you could
It is still opened both ways as of this morning.
any updates on the kickapoo turnpike? also is the s.w turnpike the one close to the airport completely opened?
Kickapoo Turnpike will have 80 mph speed limit in some portions. All
Portions will be open in early 2021

What’s the status of the Southeast loop to connect Kickapoo to Hwy 9 in Norman?
I think eventually it will join up with highway 9 and create an OKC bypass (probably wrong, can't remember)
I know a few years back there was talk ( rumors so take it with a grain of salt ) about widening hwy 9 in norman all the way to thunderbird casino and have it set up to easily change to a turnpike and have a turnpike from hwy 9 and peebly road area build up to connect to the interstate 40.
this is correct if you look at the kickapoo I40 interchange they built the full bridge over I-40 for the future extension to highway 9
internal planning with the turnpike authority has mapped out a good chunk of the next bond issue construction
2 of those thing are the extension of the kickapoo to highway 9 (phase 3 will be from highway 9 to I35 )
and the next phase of the Turner expansion
expansion of highway 9 to the cleavand county line and into Pottawatomie is on the current ODOT 8 year plan
Good to hear they are starting to plan for the connection to Norman. It doesn’t really make a lot of sense without that link to Hwy 9/I-35.
I do wonder which current grade intersections will remain in Norman and be rebuilt into interchanges,
Per OkDOT part of the new Kickapoo turnpike will open soon. I think more will be revealed during their October commission meeting which they usually release the updated 8 year plan in as well.
Noticed that Google Maps just recently added the Kickapoo Turnpike route, which is sort of weird considering it's not open yet, and they still haven't changed the SW Kilpatrick extension (which is open) to limited access shading, it has the same shading as any regular surface street.
Event posted on facebook for Kickapoo Turnpike opening ceremony October 13 2020. So im guessing it will be open to travel on next week? It says only northern section will be open to travel on the 13th from I-44 to N.E 23rd
Got a question about the Kickapoo Turnpike, I know there is plans to expand it south of I 40 to highway 9 and eventually to I 35, are there plans to expand it north of I 44 to I 35 north of Edmond, I know if they do, it had to go around Luther.
