Starting Monday at 9 A.M., Lewis Avenue at Interstate-44 will be closed. It won't reopen for more than a year.
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation spokeswoman Kenna Mitchell says the roadway will be closed for 20-months while the bridge over I-44 is replaced. That means drivers will have to shift to Peoria or Harvard to go north or south through that area.
She says this is the final phase of the massive I-44 widening project.
