The Oklahoma Department of Transportation says it has shifted several lanes of I-44 near Lewis because of a widening project.

On Sunday, eastbound traffic on I-44 shifted to a new section of pavement at Lewis.

ODOT says westbound traffic will be moved to new lanes Monday morning.  

ODOT says this is the third and final phase of the I-44 widening project from Yale to Riverside Drive which has been underway since 2009.
