Attention drivers heading west from Tulsa to OKC: The Turner Turnpike service plaza in Stroud will be closed from July 15 through fall 2025.
The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority confirmed that westbound I-44/Turner Turnpike will close temporarily beginning at 8 a.m. on July 15, "to expedite construction of an expansion of overnight truck parking and new facilities for the Love's Travel Stop and McDonald's."
The closure means drivers need to plan ahead for fuel, food and restroom stops when heading west on the turnpike.
Other ramps to Heyburn, Kellyville, Bristow, Stroud, Chandler and Wellston will remain open for those needing fuel, the OTA says.
"Commercial motor vehicle drivers are advised to fuel up ahead of entering westbound Turner Turnpike, as truck-accessible fueling stations are limited between Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Commercial trucks should locate alternative overnight parking locations."
