- You never know what you'll see on the Turner Turnpike.
- Drivers on the Kilpatrick, Turner, Creek & Will Rogers Turnpikes should be aware of "The People's Convoy" moving trough Central & Northeast Oklahoma during the day Sunday. The convoy will be traveling at minimum speed limits. OHP is monitoring traffic flow along along the route.
- Video from the scene of the Turner Turnpike. Fireworks trailer on fire at MM 177.5. WB Traffic diverted at the Stroud exit.
00:00 - A big thank you to our own @OKTurnpike and @OKDOT maintenance crews who have been working nearly 265 straight hours day and night to keep the roads clear during this unprecedented winter weather. And don't forget to #dontcrowdtheplow.
- With conditions forecasted to worsen, we encourage motorists to use caution on the roads. Our plows need at least 200 ft. of space to continue treating the roads and making them safe for public. Thankfully, no one was injured in this incident on I-44/Turner Turnpike. #okwx
00:00 - Effective Immediately: Due to the emergency declaration, the Muskogee Turnpike, from the entrance at Hwy 69 to SH 165 is drivable at no charge for those who wish to use it. @OKDOT @OHPtraffic @MuskogeePhoenix
