Work on the northbound Interstate 235 bridge joint rehabilitation project will begin at 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Officials urge motorists to find alternative routes and expect significant delays at the junction of Interstates 235, 35 and 40.

Northbound I-235 will be narrowed and shifted between I-40 and Sheridan Avenue through July.

Oklahoma Department of Transportation authorities say the junction is a blending of I-35 traffic with I-40 eastbound and westbound travelers who want to drive north on I-235, and then go the other direction at the end of each day.

The bridge joints will be a relatively short project with Built Right Construction agreeing to complete the $4 million job within 75 days with $20,000 daily incentives of up to 15 days for early completion.
