SH 152 in OK at I-344 missing a ramp

The interchange at OK 152 has one missing move.  You can't access I-355 going EB from the arterial part of the route to the Turnpike.

Is that temporary? Or did the OK Turnpike Authority feel it wasn't worth the money?

Seems odd as the opposite way you can go SB to WB.

The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority cannot build any ramps to I-355, as it is in Illinois and they do not have jurisdiction to build there.

I doubt we'll ever see a ramp from Northbound SH-152 to WB I-344 ever built at the current I-240/I-344/Airport Road partial interchange. There are too many problems with it.

The movement would have to be built as a flyover ramp. Home owners near the interchange would not like that. Next to I-344 the new ramp would probably clip homes along the South side of SW 50th Street. The existing toll booth/gantry just West of County Line Road would have to be removed/remolded. And even with that gone there will still be traffic weaving issues with the I-344 exit ramp to Morgan Road nearby. It would be a really messy situation.

Compounding that further, The proposed Tri-City Connector Turnpike would have its North end built just East of the existing I-344/SH-152/I-240 partial interchange mash-up. We may be looking at the need for braided ramps and other ideas to avoid serious traffic weaving issues there.

I think people in that part of Mustang are just going to have to settle for using the Morgan Road exit as the main way to get on/off I-344.

That's Interstate 344. Interstate 335 is on the Kickapoo Turnpike. I understand it was a small error on your part, Bobby5280.

I could see something like this, except with that ramp starting on the outside and the bridge near Council Road.

Which isn't even much of a "settle" for those from the denser parts of Mustang, as it's shorter distance-wise than going to the I-344 terminus anyhow.

Fixed the typos.

It would have been easier to build the missing ramp, if it was OK 152 that had to exit from the western terminus of Interstate 240 instead of Interstate 344.
