SH-33 closure at Second St. in Kingfisher tentatively scheduled to begin in mid-October; start planning now for alternate route

Motorists should start planning now to locate an alternate route for a full closure of eastbound and westbound SH-33 underneath the viaduct bridge between Sixth St. and Second St. Kingfisher tentatively scheduled for mid-October for up to 25 days. 

There is not enough room underneath the bridge to shift traffic while pavement repairs are being made on SH-33 between US-81/Main St. and Second St. as part of the pavement rehabilitation project that started in early 2020. The highway currently is narrowed to one lane in each direction.

Motorists are advised to expect delays and congestion in the area and to plan extra travel time. The detour will be eastbound SH-33 to northbound US-81 to eastbound SH-51 to southbound SH-74 to eastbound SH-33. Westbound travelers may take northbound SH-74 to westbound SH-51 to southbound US-81 to westbound SH-33.

An updated advisory will be sent from this office once the closure date is confirmed with the contractor.

The $1.3 million project was awarded by the Oklahoma Transportation Commission in June 2019 to Schiralli Construction Corp. of Wilson. The project is expected to complete by late fall 2020, weather permitting.

Eastbound and westbound SH-33 will be closed between Sixth St. and Second St. in Kingfisher for nearly a month tentatively scheduled to start in mid-October.
