A section of Interstate 244 in east Tulsa will close today for several months as part of the ongoing repavement project.

I-244's eastbound lanes will be closed between 129th East Avenue and the Interstate 44 junction from 7 a.m. today through late January, according to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.

Through traffic should use U.S. 169 southbound to I-44 eastbound as a detour.

Local traffic will still be able to access Garnett Road and 129th East Avenue from I-244.

Various lane and ramp closures will continue on I-244 in both directions between the I-44 junction and Sheridan Road as the project continues.
