[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 2807744, member: 6281"] When Brad Henry was Governor he tried to get an interchange built east of Shawnee propper at I-40 and Brian Rd. 1 mile east of SH-18 interchange. Why? Because his law office was located on that road 2 miles north of I-40. He couldnt get it done because we did a justification study and found it to be totally useless. Same would be true of a new highway. I havent seen details on this new route so I cant say much but I would suspect the long range planners see sometime in the future to cause a need. Just think if those planners had been that thoughfull with I-35 from OKC to norman and at least bought enough right of way for 10 lanes through S. OKC back in the day when that real estate was obtainable. Now it is not and 35 will never get widened again because of right of way cost. Im not in favor of a new turnpike but I also dont believe for a second that some politician is dictating its location and function. It just doesnt work like that. [/QUOTE]
