I could easily get weekly use out of that stretch.

They've been doing core samples all along Indian Hills for quite some time.

Good deal. I am very excited for the prospect of a Texas style stack interchange here. OKC needs several of them but this is a great place to start. The more freeways and lanes for OKC the better. I look forward to seeing it progress.

As of late last year. They were wanting to start on the East-West connector late this year. So maybe around October or November

It looks like they are changing the alignment of the south extension

I wonder how much they can actually change it, there's a pretty clear requirement for how the turnpike needs to wrap about the south and east side of Norman.

More than likely they will try to push it a half a mile to the West. However it is also possible they push it to the east side of the lake as well

Timber Creek Fellowship Church on Indian Hills Rd West of the tracks has been demolished

Hopefully, it won't be pushed to the east of the lake. That would take any value it has to Norman. It would be good for both OTA and Norman if they kept it in city limits and not just bypass Norman entirely.
