Road Work Ahead: Interstate Lane Closed for Construction

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is urging drivers heading north on I44 to find an alternate route.

I44 just south of the I40 interchange is narrowed to one lane until Thursday, March 21st.

But that's not the only construction in the area.

Drivers merging from eastbound I40 to I44 will also encounter some barrels as crews work to replace a barrier wall.

ODOT says drivers should expect heavy congestion and should find an alternate route, such as I35 or I235.

You can track traffic and see live video of congestion before you walk out the door thanks to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.Road Work Ahead: Interstate Lane Closed for Construction

In tornado's wake, worried parents seek out kids
May 21, 2013 08:28 GMT

By NOMAAN MERCHANT Associated Press

MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- Parents and guardians of children whose elementary schools were damaged in the deadly tornado that ripped through the Oklahoma City area are hoping for happy reunions.

At least 20 children are among the more than 50 reported dead so far in Moore, an Oklahoma City suburb ravaged Monday afternoon by a tornado with winds up to 200 mph. Officials said early Tuesday the death toll could rise by as many as 40.

Many parents seeking their children gathered at a suburban church, listening intently as someone with a bullhorn called out the names of children who were being dropped off. For many families, the ordeal ended in tears of joy. Others were left to wait in the darkness, hoping for good news while fearing the worst.
