Road construction could slow down your Turkey Day travels

If you're taking the highways to Grandma's house on Thanksgiving, we'll try to steer you around the worst of the road construction.

Here in Tulsa, the usual culprits are still there at I-44 at Lewis, where the widening project is going on.

Also on I-44, at 177th East Avenue, ODOT says there's a tricky shift onto new pavement going eastbound.

And State Highway 151 over the Keystone Dam is still closed.

We know at least some of you will be going through Oklahoma City, and  ODOT says the interchange where I-44, I-235, and Broadway Extension come together is a real mess right now, with lots of ramp and lane closures.

I-40 is narrowed by Yukon, and I-35 is narrowed south of Norman.

Here's the full TRAFFAX report from ODOT:
