Oklahoma moves forward with $75M Toby Keith Expressway near Newcastle
The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority is moving forward with spending $75 million on construction of a junction that will be key to the Toby Keith Expressway linking two major interstates. The expressway, previously referred to as the “east-west connector turnpike,” is part of the $8.2 billion, 15-year ACCESS Oklahoma toll road expansion program that started in 2022. The expressway is named after the late country music star Toby Keith, who was born in Clinton, lived in Moore and was based in Norman. The new expressway is designed to begin at Interstate 44 and State Highway 37, cross the South Canadian River east to Interstate 35, and then continue east and then north to Interstate 40, connecting to the Kickapoo Turnpike. The expressway junction will replace the existing interchange at Indian Hills Road with a multi-level interchange including direct ramp connections for Interstate 35 and the Toby Keith Expressway. The road will span over 36th Avenue NW, the railroad tracks/Little River Floodplain, and 24th Avenue NW. The construction bid awarded at the July 7 meeting of the Oklahoma Turnpike Commission will provide connections between Interstate 44 and the future Toby Keith Expressway, said Darian Butler, director of engineering at the OTA. “This
