Southwest Pike Prospects Bright, Payne Declares
Lawton Oklahoma—Charles D. Payne of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority told the Chamber of Commerce Roads and Highways committee that the southwest leg of the turnpike network now seems more feasible than months ago. He warned a $250 million package for all three legs may be unlikely, making the southwest leg the only feasible project if northern and southern legs falter. A forum will be held to promote turnpikes and gather interest from other cities, with engineers to bolster financing data and a subcommittee to tackle the Cache Road widening deadlock.
