Mayor Karl Nail told City Council members at their November meeting that the ACCESS Oklahoma program is back underway. He explained how he understands the process will be moving forward and that the project near Newcastle will be the first.
Nail said the City met with Oklahoma Turnpike Authority staff about a week prior to the Council meeting and they explained where they are in the process.
Nail said, “They anticipate that after the first of the year, they’ll be able to provide 30% plans for public consumption. That will show the fairly defined path of where the turnpike will impact, including both the turnpike and any associated accessory roads adjacent to that. Everyone will know fairly well whether they will be impacted or not, and to what degree.”
