If you travel Highway 33 east of Kingfisher, get ready for some delays.
Construction crews are scheduled to begin a major highway improvement project on Monday, June 2. The project will cover more than nine miles of Highway 33, starting just east of the U.S. 81 intersection in Kingfisher and continuing east to approximately N2940 Road.
The work will include widening the highway, adding shoulders, and resurfacing the roadway. According to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), these improvements are designed to make the highway safer and improve traffic flow.
Crews have already started setting up signs and traffic cones and have moved equipment into place in preparation for construction.
Traffic will remain open in both directions during the project, but drivers should expect lane shifts, narrower lanes, reduced speeds, and occasional delays as work continues.
If weather cooperates, the project is expected to be completed in late summer or early fall of 2027.
