ANOTHER PHASE IN THE I-40/LOUISIANA INTERCHANGE PROJECT WILL BEGIN NEXT TUESDAY, WHEN THE EAST BOUND OFF RAMP IS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN FOR 30 DAYS. TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN MATT KENNICOTT SAYS THE POINT OF THE PROJECT IS TO ADD ANOTHER LEFT TURN LANE TO ALLOW DRIVERS BETTER ACCESS TO ONE OF THE CITY’S MAJOR SHOPPING AREAS.
KENNICOTT ALSO SAYS THE ON-RAMP FROM LOUISIANA TO EASTBOUND I-40 SHOULD REOPEN BY SATURDAY. THE ENTIRE 3.7 MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED BY MID-MAY.
