Four Sides Clash Over I-35 Routing in Oklahoma
Four competing views shape the I-35 routing dispute from Purcell to Springer. Green line supporters cite local economic impact, while red line backers warn of wasted dollars and farm land loss.

Bellman weighing faster construction against preserving existing communities.
