ODOT gives travel advice
State Highway 9W is narrowed to one lane in each direction at U.S. Interstate 35 near Newcastle, Goldsby and Norman through 2026 as part of an ongoing interchange construction project in the area.
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation’s overall project will convert the I-35 and SH-9W interchange into a Diverging Diamond Interchange, widen I-35 to six lanes between SH-9W and SH-74/Main St. in Goldsby. and add two roundabouts along SH-9W service roads through 2026.
Here’s What to Expect
• Northbound and southbound I-35 will be intermittently narrowed between SH-9W in Norman and Main St. in Goldsby through 2026 for corridor widening and an intersection improvement project.
• Drivers should use caution as I-35 lanes have a much shorter merge area.
• All lanes of northbound and southbound N.W. 12th Ave. are shifted between SH-9W and Lamar Rd. through July. Drivers can access southbound I-35 from N.W. 12th Ave. but will not be able to use N.W. 12th Ave. as a service road.
• Drivers can use US-77 as an alternate route.
