The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority plans to reveal its new south extension route later this month.
The announcement of the south route is set for 2:00 p.m. on Sept. 23.
The move comes after the agency had to revise the alignment from a 2022 proposal due to a ruling by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
OTA says the 19-mile new toll road will connect I-35 near Purcell to the future East-West Connector turnpike near Indian Hills Rd.
The Turnpike Authority has scheduled three open house meetings for property owners along the new alignment:
- Wednesday, Sept. 24
- Saturday, Sept. 27
- Monday, Sept. 29.
OTA says the location of the meetings will be announced in the coming days.
The agency says the south extension turnpike is set to open to traffic by 2034.
