I-35 narrows at Fountain Road south of Tonkawa, SH-15 near Billings for bridge projects

Interstate 35 will narrow to one lane in each direction at Fountain Road (at mile marker 211) near Tonkawa in Kay County and the Fountain Road bridge over I-35 will close at 8 a.m. Friday through early fall for bridge reconstruction.

I-35 traffic will be diverted to the on- and off-ramps at Fountain Road from 8 p.m. Friday to 10 a.m. Saturday for bridge removal. I-35 will be inaccessible from Fountain Road during this time.

Additionally, I-35 remains narrowed to one lane in each direction at State Highway 15 (mile marker 203) near Billings in Noble County and the SH-15 bridge over I-35 is closed through summer 2017 for bridge reconstruction. The I-35 on- and off-ramps at SH-15 will remain open to traffic.

SH-15 traffic will be detoured to SH-74, US-412, US-77 and US-60.

In September, the Oklahoma Transportation Commission awarded an $8.8 million contract for this work to OBC Inc. of Edmond. The contract also includes replacement of the Bender Road bridge over I-35 in Kay County, with reconstruction anticipated to start by early summer.
