Protect those who protect you. 🚓🚒

Saturday is National Move Over Day. First responders, tow operators and highway workers put their lives on the line every day to protect ours. Give them the space they need to go home safe.

If you see ANY vehicle on the side of the road with flashing lights, remember: Slow Down, Move Over.

We need your input!

ODOT is hosting an open house to discuss proposed improvements to the I-40 and Council Rd. interchange.

The project aims to address growing traffic demand and improve safety, including ramp geometry, localized flooding and access. ODOT evaluated several interchange options and, after careful consideration, identified the diverging diamond interchange as the preferred option.

ODOT will have the proposed project plans available for review, and engineers will be on hand to answer questions and gather public feedback.

⚫ Date: Oct. 20, 2026
⚫ Time: 4:00 – 7:00 P.M.
⚫ Location: 7725 CONNECT, Entry 2, Auditorium, 7725 W. Reno Ave. Oklahoma City

A new US-70 Roosevelt Bridge needs a road to match. 🚧

US-70 east of the bridge will be widened to two lanes in each direction with a shared left-turn lane. The tree clearing you're seeing along the highway is being made to make room for it.

Our team breaks it down in the video below. For more information, visit rooseveltbridge.com.

Please pay attention while driving through the area. Safety first.
