CREEK COUNTY, Oklahoma -

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says all highways in Creek County that were closed due to wildfires are now open.

The OHP says the only exception is for over-sized loads. Restrictions for these type of loads remain in place.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation says speed limits on state Highway 33 and 48 in Creek County have been reduced to 45 mph.

Troopers caution that utility companies are still in the area working to fix downed poles and low hanging lines.
