ODOT talk about I-35/OK-9 bridge reconstruction

This is going to be very interesting I think, dealing with OK-9 as it runs along Riverwind and all.

"ODOT schedules public meeting

"A public meeting with Oklahoma Department of Transportation representatives regarding current and upcoming ODOT projects in and around the Newcastle area and West highway 9 will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Newcastle First Baptist Church, 2945 SE 44th St. in Newcastle.

"State Rep. Scott Martin, R-Norman, said the primary topic will be the reconstruction of the West Highway 9 bridge over Interstate 35.

"'This is a major project for District 46 that will benefit out citizens and keep them safe,' Martin said. 'I am very pleased with the efforts of ODOT, the Legislature and the community in helping us in the planning process and securing funding. I believe in safe roads and bridges and am committed to providing a safer transportation system for our citizens. I encourage the community to attend to discuss our progress.'

"Martin added, 'In addition, we will talk about the I-35 widening project and interchange reconstruction project in Norman.'"
