More changes are underway along U.S. Highway 69 in McAlester, affecting frontage roads running beside the highway.
The U.S. Highway 69 west frontage road permanently becomes a one-way road between South Peaceable Road and Village Boulevard effective Friday, May 1, according to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
Another change is closing the current Village Boulevard frontage road entrances to U.S. Highway 69. Drivers needing to enter the U.S. Highway 69 northbound lane can access it from the east frontage road at the on-ramp just south of Wade Watts Boulevard.
Motorists wanting to head south on U.S. Highway 69 can turn around at Wade Watts Boulevard to the temporary on-ramp near South Peaceable Road. An alternative route is to go south to S. 14th Street to access the highway s southbound lanes.
