The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority is one step closer to upgrading and expanding its roads. The Council of Bond Oversight has approved 500-million-dollars in revenue bonds for financing ACCESS Oklahoma turnpike expansion projects. Officials say that the action will allow the turnpike authority to proceed with plans to enhance travel by widening the John Kilpatrick, Turner and Will Rogers turnpikes, extending the Gilcrease Expressway Turnpike and build additional access points.
