Subject

    The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) proposes to improve US-277 from the east edge of Cement in Caddo County to I-44 in Grady County. US-277 is a major truck route with several sharp curves and rolling terrain which results in inadequate sight distance to safely stop vehicles for turning or stopped vehicles or pass slow moving vehicles. These factors contribute to a substantial accident history.

As part of our efforts to keep the public informed of this project and involved in the decision process, ODOT has scheduled a public meeting. The meeting will include a presentation/open house about the proposed improvements to US-277 including why the improvements are needed, the type of improvements proposed, and the expected impacts to motorists and the surrounding community.

Meeting Purpose

     The purpose of this meeting is to present these alternatives to the public and get input to aid ODOT in selecting a preferred alternative to move forward with the completion of the detailed environmental studies, design and construction.

Project Purpose

     The purpose of this project is to improve the safety and functionality of the US-277 corridor from Cement in Caddo County, east to the US-I-44 overpass in Grady County, OK.
