I hope I am wrong.

I believe you are right, I lived in OKC for 20 years, they never got I-35 or I-40 construction projects done. Buy time the completed section through town it was already outdated. I know guy work road construction and retired doing I-35/I 40 updates in OKC. I went through there in 73 heading for Texas. I move to OKC IN 94 retire in 2014, They was still working on them, finely got rid of raised bridges through downtown after I left.

301 needs to be 4 lanes with turning lanes through Summerfield, it bottom necks down traffic from Ocala and 75 traffic going to and from.
