A local resident is frustrated by the ongoing Robinson Street and Interstate 35 Interchange project and the power outages that have come with it.
The southbound 1-35 ramp off Robinson has been closed since April 2021, when the project began; city officials estimated it would reopen mid-June, but the deadline for the lane to be reopened is now Nov. 1.
Interchange improvements include right and left turn lanes; enhancements to the intersection at Crossroads Boulevard, Rambling Oaks Drive and Robinson Street; additional street lights, traffic signals and signs throughout the project; on and off ramp reconstruction south of Robinson; sidewalk extensions and stormwater upgrades, The Transcript reported in April.

The City of Norman is set to begin a street widening project on Robinson Street Monday, which will impact access to I-35.
The first phase of the project will begin Monday on Robinson Street between I-35 and Brookhaven Creek, as crews construct the south portion of the Interstate Drive intersection, according to a news release from the city.
During this phase, the southbound I-35 ramp on Robinson Street will close and traffic will be rerouted to Main Street. The eastbound Robinson Street ramp from I-35 south exit 110B will also be closed during this time, though the westbound Robinson Street ramp from I-35 south exit 110A will stay open.
