BACKGROUND: The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is moving forward with a project to widen Interstate 35 in Norman from four lanes to six lanes and to replace the existing Cloverleaf Interchange at I-35 and Main Street with a Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI). The SPUI style of interchange was selected for this location by ODOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) following an extensive Environmental Assessment (EA) process that took place between 2007 and 2011. On June 26, 2012, Council approved two contracts with ODOT for the Main Street Interchange.
