FLOODING: Highway Conditions 5-29-19 as of 11 a.m.

EDITOR’S NOTE: With historic rainfall since winter 2018 through the spring, many roads are closed, including some construction projects due to rivers and creeks rising too high for some work to continue.

• Be alert to any water over driving lanes;
• Don’t drive around barricades;
• Don’t pull over to take photos or sightsee as many river and creek banks are unstable.

The department is not able to predict closures and conditions continue to change rapidly statewide. The agency will keep highways open for as long as it is safe to do so. Travel is discouraged in the hardest hit areas of eastern and northeastern Oklahoma as flooding conditions continue to rapidly change.

As water levels subside, ODOT and the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority will assess existing pavement conditions for needed repairs and also construction timetables for further changes and updates. Drivers are encouraged to be prepared and partner with these agencies as they address these needs and possible delays. ODOT wants drivers to be prepared for more inconvenience and travel impacts this summer for repairs after this spring’s flooding.

The following highways are closed until further notice due to flooding:

***Note: SEQUOYAH CO: East and westbound US-64 is closed between Roland, Okla., and Fort Smith, Ark. All traffic is detoured to I-40.  WAGONER CO.: Southbound US-69 is closed north of Muskogee at the Arkansas River. Drivers should use SH-51 or locate an alternate route such as SH-351/Muskogee Turnpike, which has eliminated tolls between US-69 and SH-165.***
