PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT MEETING
SH-9 in Kiowa & Caddo Counties, OK

     The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is proposing to improve a section of SH-9 from east of the Stinking Creek Bridge in Kiowa County through the SH-58 intersection in Carnegie in Caddo County. Existing SH-9 has narrow or no shoulders and several sharp curves and rolling terrain which results in inadequate sight distance to see oncoming traffic or turning traffic. These factors contribute to a substantial accident history and indicate unsafe conditions. The purpose of the project is to improve the safety of the roadway.

     The Department is currently considering alternatives for improving the highway while taking into consideration construction costs, right-of-way costs and environmental constraints. The purpose of this meeting is to present these alternatives to the public and get input to aid the Department in selecting a preferred alternative to move forward with the completion of detailed environmental studies, design and construction.

     If you require special accommodations for the meeting, please direct your request to Frank Roesler III, ODOT Public Involvement Officer, (405) 521-2350 or m-coordinator@odot.org to at least three (3) working days in advance of the meeting date.
