SAND SPRINGS, OK -- Road construction has shut down part of a busy stretch of road in Sand Springs.

Contractors have closed Wekiwa Road in Sand Springs to westbound traffic from Short Street to the Case Community Center as part of a $3.2 million roadway widening project.

Two-way traffic still remains open from Highway 97 to Short Street – providing access to businesses in Cimarron Plaza and Cimarron Center. However, drivers wanting to reach River City Park, the Case Community Center, Wellston Park Road industries and Apple Creek Apartments will need to follow a marked detour using Second and Fourth streets to 129th West Avenue.

The roadway will remain open to eastbound traffic throughout the entire project.

The current detour should remain in place until late spring. The project will then shift to a second phase limiting travel to the eastbound direction between Short Street and Highway 97. A second detour route will be set up at that time to get traffic to adjacent businesses using Morrow Road and Broad Street.
