Project ready to turn dirt
Construction is due to start next week on the first roundabout to be built in Canadian County.
An Oklahoma Department of Transportation contractor is scheduled to begin work Thursday, Feb. 15 at the State Highway 66 and U.S. 81 intersection in El Reno.
“Work is scheduled to take about a year and a half, weather permitting, and should be complete ahead of the Route 66 Centennial in 2026,” ODOT spokesman Bryce Boyer said.
