ODOT is considering three different upgrade options to the stretch of Highway 75 from the Okmulgee County line, to 151st Street, and the meeting allowed citizens to share their concerns. The proposals are about improving safety and traffic flow. ODOT's TJ Gerlach tells KRMG the meeting was well attended. The upgrades would replace current diamond interchanges with x-ramps, which means drivers would get on and off of the highway using one-way frontage roads on each side of the highway.
