I feel sorry for those that drive I-40 (Tinker traffic). Soon we will be submitting a tied project on I-40 to widening both east/west bound lanes and replacing Crutchoak, 15th, and Sooner Rd Bridges. In the sequencing there will be two lanes open in both directions during construction. We are also rebuilding Sooner Road under the I-40 bridge. We are not touching the frontage roads so the button hook ramps will remain (although reconstructed).
Looks like Reno and 29th are going to be real busy.

There used to be a joke in Wichita, KS. The radio DJ said, "Scientists predict the sun will become a giant and then burn itself out in 93 Billion years." "That means they are going to have to finish Kellogg in the dark."
The joke in OKC back in the early '90s was about some bright lights along I-235. It seemed someone at ODOT had heard that the sun was going to burn out in five billion years, and they were testing the lights because they wanted to make sure they'd have enough light to finish the Broadway Extension.

Here, but occasionally There.
I've seen footage of a considerable amount of new highway construction, and roundabouts are seriously in favor for intersections that lead onto/off of highways. Indiana seems to be very partial to elongated roundabouts that go under highways--they look kind of like giant dog bones.

Yeppers...

...worked in the area of Carmel, Indiana, just on the north side of Indianapolis. Carmel is supposed to be the city in the U.S. with the most traffic circles. Sooner's comment about the dogbone is because they have a circle on each side of the expressway highways to aid with traffic on the access roads.
