Flooding Forces Road Closures Across Parts Of Oklahoma

The heavy rain overnight is causing a messy commute Wednesday morning, especially for folks in Norman dealing with more flooding.

There are road closures and construction signs all over side streets in Norman where flooding occurred. But one of them is a major highway.

Crews are working to repair a large hole in a bridge on State Highway 9 over I-35 in Norman. Traffic on the westbound side of SH9 has been shut down while crews work to repair the damage.

Viewer Teresa Kovelda shared a dramatic video of four crew members performing a swift water rescue in Norman just off Main Street near 24th.

Wednesday morning, ODOT is also reminding residents in Kiowa County about road closures there because of flooding issues.

HWY-54 is closed just north of HWY-9 near Gotebo. This closure is expected to last into next week.
