TULSA, Oklahoma -- Driving on I-44 over the Arkansas River is going to be challenging for the next couple of days as people get used to traffic flow changes.
The reason is construction work to widen I-44 between Riverside Drive and Peoria.
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation says westbound drivers on I-44 need to be aware that the westbound bridge will be handling both east and westbound traffic.
As part of the project, the eastbound I-44 on-ramp from Riverside Drive will be closed temporarily while the eastbound off-ramp to Riverside Drive will be closed permanently.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is stepping up enforcement of the speed limits in the construction zone to get drivers to slow down.
