Johnston County

US-377/SH-99 is closed to through traffic just south of Tishomingo. While water has receded off the roadway, flooding and debris have damaged parts of the bridge. Water remains too high at this time for a full bridge inspection to determine the extent of potential damage. Traffic is detoured to SH-1/SH-7 through Mill Creek, then SH-7W to Sulphur, and then to southbound US-177 to Dickson, and east on SH 199/US-177 through Mannsville to Madill.

Kingfisher County

SH-33 is closed about three miles west of the SH-74F junction near Cashion. This closure is expected to last several more weeks while a contractor finishes a nearby bridge construction project.

Kiowa County

SH-54 is closed to through traffic just south of SH-9 near Gotebo after flooding damaged a construction detour near an ongoing project. Traffic is detoured using SH-19 to US-183 to SH-55.

Leflore County

SH-1 is closed between US-271 and US-259 through the Ouachita National Forest due to damage from a land slide.

McCurtain County

US-259 is closed at the Red River due to flooding-related damage on both the Oklahoma and Texas sides of the Red River bridge. Drivers must find an alternate route traveling into Texas.

Murray County

I-35 is narrowed to one lane in each direction near US-77/Turner Falls (mile marker 51), south of Davis, while repairs are made to stabilize the rock face near the interstate. Drivers should continue to expect delays in the upcoming weeks and consider using US-81 or US-69 as alternate routes.

Pottawatomie County

SH-102 is open to only local traffic between SH-9 and SH-59B as crews repair damage to surface and drainage areas of the highway. The roadway may reopen within a week.

Pushmataha County

US-271 is open to one lane south of Clayton as a contractor continues making repairs to shore up severe erosion after heavy rains in May damaged both the roadway and the road bed. Permanent repairs are expected to take up to eight weeks to complete.
