PS, the stretch from of I-35 in Edmond is under study as well. Similarly, they are looking at one way service road conversions and a possible extension of the service roads to at least Covell(maybe Waterloo I can't remember). Edmond paid for the study with a surplus of tax revenue a couple years back.

I have nothing about this study however I believe it would be much less complex than the one the stretch in the south metro. Most of the infrastructure in place would only have to be slightly realigned with the stretch between Danforth and Second St. being the exception as that portion will be a little more complex. Danforth bridge needs to be reconstructed and Second St. in Edmond needs to be expanded to six lanes which is my understanding they are eying. The only other six lane expansion of an arterial road I know of being considered in the entire state is Classen St. in Norman. I know ODOT is adding some lanes to Douglas as part of the interchange reconstruction project there.

ODOT also has plans to widen and completely reconstruct I-35 to six lanes from 2nd St. in Edmond to SH-51 in Stillwater. It isn't funded, but I was hoping they would at least add the widening of I-35 from 2nd St. to Waterloo to the 8 year plan update this year. In all honesty I was only expecting the ROW or utility portion of that small project to be added not the actual construction of the widening, but with the current budget problems, I don't even see that in far I'm worried some projects might fall off.

ODOT is going to be facing some serious problems due to sprawl in the coming years and it will be made much worse with the fact that they are facing budget cuts when they should be adding billions to their measley budget. Just to name a couple you need to add several ramps in North Edmond. East I-40 is a joke in the metro. Though they current have plans to widen and reconstruct it, that could get pushed back. I-44 in South OKC is becoming more congested. I-44 Belle Isle bridge is in pretty dire need for replacement. New freeway loops are becoming more and more need around Norman and Edmond.

If anyone has been paying attention, the OTA recently changed the plan for the EOC Loop connection at I-40 to allow for the freeway to completely pass over I-40 to continue south for 100 feet or so. This shows me they intend on connecting to I-35 hopefully sooner rather than later. Though a loop in Northeast Edmond is decades away from being needed, I do wish they would plan for that as well.

ODOT has a lot to tackle in just the OKC metro and that doesn't include the other billions of dollars needed for the the Tulsa and Lawton metros.
