Construction begins in Yukon on Garth Brooks Boulevard
YUKON, Okla. (KFOR) — Construction has started on Garth Brooks Boulevard in Yukon and the city is anticipating it to last for 315 days. It starts on Andrew Drive and ends on Health Center Parkway, but the on and off ramps to I-40 may also be affected during the construction. 'You can tell the city is growing like crazy, which is a great thing for Yukon, but it's made everything pretty congested at times,' said Dr. Eric Mead, Smile Today Dentures and Implants. LOCAL NEWS: Big expansion planned for Lazy E Arena in 2026 The city said the road will go down to one lane, so traffic could back up on either end, and that has some businesses wondering what that will look like during busy hours on the road. 'It may congest patients coming in and out of the practice, but we're still going to be here,' said Dr. Mead. According to the City of Yukon, they're resurfacing the road, adding new turn lanes to help with congestion, and updating traffic signals and sidewalks for extra safety. The changes have locals hopeful for the future of Yukon. 'We think that it's really going to open up everything, its going to be a lot nicer for people traveling,' said Dr. Mead. 'I'm glad that they're definitely expanding, we definitely need it, we need the upgraded roads,' said Luke Jacquemin, a Yukon resident. But waiting until it's complete is where there's concern. 'Schools fixing to start, so that's definitely gonna be an extreme headache, cause some wrecks probably,' said Jacquemin. The changes are funded by an 80-20 split between the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and the City of Yukon. ODOT is funding 80% and the other 20% is funded by Yukon's Capital Improvement Fund. LOCAL NEWS: 'No knock list' allows Yukon residents to ban solicitors 'The bulk of our highway projects are funded through the federal highway bill, and that's where we get most of the money for our general construction improvements,' said T.J. Gerlach, an ODOT Spokesperson. In addition to the road going down to one lane on Garth Brooks Boulevard, the on and off ramps of I-40 will be affected as well. 'Whenever each ramp is due for its time, we'll have to close it or narrow it, obviously, when that happens, we'll make sure to get the word out to the public,' said Gerlach. Construction crews were starting to set up on Monday morning to get ready for road repairs. It's unclear what time road closures will officially start. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
