KILPATRICK TURNPIKE CONSTRUCTION: Oklahoma City drivers, heads up! A big road construction project starts Monday on the Kilpatrick Turnpike near Wilshire Blvd.
π£οΈThe turnpike will be widened to six lanes between Wilshire to almost NW 122nd. Traffic will be shifted over and lanes will be narrowed, but the turnpike will remain open.
π§NW Expressway/Highway 3 will be narrowed to one lane in each direction between County Line Rd. and Morgan Rd through late spring 2026 for bridge work above the highway.
πThe OTA is also doing noise studies along the Kilpatrick Turnpike between I-40 and MacArthur. Theyβll be reaching out to neighborhood organizations and homeowner associations about this.
π οΈOTA is also removing the canopy and islands from the old cash lanes in this area.

The project is expected to be completed in spring 2027.
