Oklahoma Turnpike Authority Project Removals

planned

Senate Bill 80 proposes to remove 21 of 35 legislatively approved Oklahoma Turnpike Authority projects that have not yet been built, including toll roads approved years ago. The bill aims to improve transparency and reduce surprises for local communities by minimizing the number of approved projects. Some projects removed include a toll road between Altus and Sayre, a turnpike from Enid to Woodward, and a proposed southern turnpike route through the state. The bill does not affect the existing 15-year turnpike expansion plan costing $8.2 billion or the toll road planned in the Norman area. A proposed toll bridge in the Bixby area remains on the approved list.
