Pardon me, I went and dug further to make sure I was remembering things correctly. I’m still not quite sure about it all but here’s what I found.

First off here’s a link to preferred alternative which widens the entire road to six lanes plus auxiliary lanes where needed. It also completely reconstructs the existing road and service roads. It competes the current gaps in the service roads and changes them to one way. That project is somehow expected to cost $15,000,000(which I’m not understanding how that’s possible) and begins in 2031. Again, here’s a link to the preferred alternative chosen back in 2020: https://oklahoma.gov/content/dam/ok/...218/update.pdf

Now there is some sort of a project in 2028 which will do something and cost 50,000,000 dollars worth of work for something 0.790 miles long. So whatever it is it’s big. It says I-35 grade, drain, bridge, and surface and runs from 15st to the Oklahoma River impacting both NB and SB lanes. Bottom of page 63: https://oklahoma.gov/content/dam/ok/...CWP%20book.pdf

Here is additional link from an interactive map and another link to the project webpage:
