If you are coming from Ponca City, simply take US-177 and then SH-15 east to reach US-64, which will take you westbound back to the turnpike.
• There is intermittent narrowing on US-177/Perkins Rd. between Hall of Fame Ave. and Mercury Ave. in Stillwater due to reconstruction.
• East and westbound SH-51 will be intermittently opened to two lanes between Vassor Rd. and Meridian Rd. to help with traffic during Oklahoma State home games this season:
• Starting from 4 p.m. on Fridays before home games, there will be two open lanes for eastbound traffic on SH-51, while westbound traffic will remain restricted to a single lane.
• During and after the game, two open lanes will be available for westbound traffic on SH-51, while eastbound traffic will be reduced to a single lane.
