I-40 / AR 59 Rebuild

[US71]

ARDOT is proposing a rebuild of the I-40/ AR 59 Interchange at Van Buren, including a traffic circle at EB I-40 and AR 59.

This is beyond needed. Wal-Mart and Aldi are just north of here on 59 and traffic is almost always a clusterf*ck.

I do not like the design of those exit ramps leading into that roundabout at all. The on and off ramps do not appear long enough. They're basically proposing an exit lane leading into a pretty sharp turn.

Did the same in Fayetteville at 49/ US 62

Having trouble seeing how semis will make that w/o taking out something.

We had a semi roll-over accident here in Lawton today at the Rogers Lane exit with I-44. The exit ramps were recently remodeled with a couple fairly tight half loops. There is some updated imagery of it (and Fort Sill) in Google Earth (the rest of Lawton has 2015 imagery).

I agree that I-40 exit ramp design could see some of the same fun.

They should coordinate that corridor from Pointer Trail to Rena Rd.

For a while I had a job in Sallisaw, it could use a coordination improvement or volume density update. Everyone blocks the Eastbound ramp despite signage stating not to.
