Thursday, June 18, 2015

Travel discouraged on I-35 in southern Oklahoma due to multiple closures, traffic detoured

Northbound I-35 is closed just north of US-77/Turner Falls (mm 51) in Murray County until further notice due to ongoing cleanup of debris on the highway onto the roadway. ODOT crews are assessing the situation and do not have an estimate for reopening the highway. Law enforcement is diverting traffic and drivers are strongly encouraged to avoid the area.
North and southbound I-35 is closed between SH-142 in Ardmore and SH-53 in Springer in Carter County due to flooding.
