I-35 Widening Between OKC Metro and TX State Line

[TornadoKegan]

Also I do believe a bypass for I 35 around Ardmore also there’s a strong possibility. I’m thinking maybe interstate 435 where it starts just north of exit 33 and then joins I 35 again at exit 29 where a US 70 bypass could go down as well

Sorry, the earlier reference to stacking highway was solely meant for OKC and it would be targeted in areas of utmost congestion. No idea what the cost would be but the assumption that they cannot widen the current set up is due to needing to purchase more right of way on both sides of the interstate and what would that cost comparison be vs a stacked highway in targeted areas. Not saying this is my idea as I believe there needs to be more studies but just repeating what I have seen in other highway threads.

Now back to only OKC to TX I35.

That service road looks like a repurposing of existing I-35 southbound bridge/lanes.

In the ODOT commission meeting today they approved preparing construction plans for widening I-35 from Johnson Road North to Ladd Road. Construction is in the 8 year plan, 2031. This will tie into the previously announced added lanes from Norman South to Ladd Road.

Commissioner Gatz also mentioned the I-35/HW-9 west bridge replacement project that is about to start will include adding additional lanes from Norman South to Goldsby. They already have the outside lanes barricaded to the Goldsby exit in preparation of this.
