On May 7, 2026, the flyover ramp from northbound U.S. 75 to eastbound Interstate 44 in Tulsa, Okla., opened to traffic. That’s two open, two more to go. The first of the $252 million project’s four ramps opened in April 2026. The project to reconfigure the interchange is moving steadily toward its expected summer 2028 completion date, according to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT). By David Holzel

Drivers along the U.S. 75 and I-44 corridors will finally be free of the 1960s-era cloverleaf interchange and the dangerous lane-merging derby at its tight entrances and exits that can no longer safely accommodate the growing volume of traffic. Cloverleafs, built for light, rural traffic, have been called “congestion machines” in places where urban growth has taken over. The U.S. 75 and I-44 interchange is a prime example. see STONEHENGE page 28

The House Transportation & Infrastructure committee CEG CORRESPONDENT approved a new, five-year bipartisan authorization of highway, transit and safety programs this month.
