Lawton is gearing up for some major bridge repair action! The Cache Road bridge over Fort Sill Boulevard is undergoing repairs to its barrier walls after a recent vehicle accident left them in less-than-ideal shape. City officials stress the importance of the barriers in keeping motorists safe during impact events, so it’s no surprise they’re jumping on this repair work ASAP.
Drivers should brace themselves for some inconveniences while these repairs take place. Motorists can expect some lane closures on Fort Sill Boulevard, along with one affected westbound lane on Cache Road. There’ll even be full road closures at times as workers maneuver their equipment around—talk about a real-life game of road Tetris!
The good news? Temporary closures should only last about 20 minutes and are scheduled during non-peak hours to limit disruption, especially avoiding school drop-off and pick-up times. Plus, detours using nearby on- and off-ramps will help keep traffic flowing smoothly. The city aims to wrap up the repairs by February 20, encouraging drivers to plan ahead. So, if you’re headed that way, maybe pack some snacks and a good playlist; you might just find yourself enjoying the scenic route!
