The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is closely monitoring state highway closures, but cannot estimate how quickly floodwater will recede and allow these highways to reopen. Even after water levels go down, highways and bridges may have underlying damage that will have to be repaired before they are opened to traffic.
The following highways are closed due to high water. Updates will be issued as conditions change. Do NOT drive into high water. Drivers are cautioned to heed warning signs and to not drive around barricades.
Carter County
US-70 is closed west of Ardmore extending approximately 15 miles west to SH-76. Crews are on site and drivers are being turned around.
SH-76 is closed north and south of Healdton, and closed several locations between Healdton extending north to Ratliff City.
Cherokee County
SH-80 is closed to through traffic about four miles west of Hulbert between SH-51 and US-62. This roadway remains under water. Once flood waters recede, crews will clean up the area and assess the road surface before reopening it to traffic.
Johnston County
US-377/SH-99 is closed to through traffic just south of Tishomingo. While water has receded off the roadway, flooding and debris have damaged parts of the bridge. Water remains too high at this time for a full bridge inspection to determine the full extent of potential damage. Traffic is detoured on SH-1/SH-22 through Ravia and US-177/SH-199.
Leflore County
US-270 is closed between Wister and Heavener and US-271 at Wister. Signs are in place and traffic will be detoured to Poteau and Heavener. This closure will continue until flood waters recede from the roadway.
Love County
SH-77 Scenic is closed where it crosses the Lake Murray spillway at the south end of the lake.
Marshall County
SH-199 is closed at the Ft. Washita bridge about five miles west of SH-48. This closure will continue until flood waters recede from the roadway.
Murray County
SH-110 is closed from SH-7 to Dougherty.
SH-77 is closed from SH-7 to I-35.
Pittsburg County
SH-31 is closed west of Mcalester.
Closed due to flooding damage
The following highways are closed due to high water. Updates will be issued as conditions change.
Grant County
SH-11 between US-81 in Medford and SH-132 is open to one lane with traffic signals while surface damage is repaired on the construction detour.
Kingfisher County
SH-33 is closed about three miles west of the SH-74F junction near Cashion. This closure is expected to last several more weeks while a contractor finishes a nearby bridge construction project.
Kiowa County
SH-54 is closed to through traffic just south of SH-9 near Gotebo after flooding damaged a construction detour near an ongoing project. Traffic is detoured using SH-19 to US-183 to SH-55.
Leflore County
SH-1 is closed between US-271 and US-259 through the Ouachita National Forest due to damage from a land slide.
McCurtain County
US-259 is closed at the Red River due to flooding-related damage on both the Oklahoma and Texas sides of the Red River bridge. Drivers must find an alternate route traveling into Texas.
Pottawatomie County
SH-102 is open to only local traffic between SH-9 and SH-59B as crews repair damage to surface and drainage areas of the highway. The roadway may reopen within a week.
Pushmataha County
US-271 is open to one lane south of Clayton as a contractor continues making repairs to shore up severe erosion after heavy rains in May damaged both the roadway and the road bed. Permanent repairs are expected to take up to eight weeks to complete.
