The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) has been working jointly with the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) since Fall 2022 on the US-412 corridor. Studies are being completed in response to a federal mandate in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) to upgrade US-412 to an interstate highway from I-35 in Noble County, Oklahoma, to I-49 in Benton County, Arkansas, 190 miles. Before portions of US-412 can be resigned to I-42 (the future interstate number), upgrades must be made to make the roadway interstate compliant.
Since 2023, ODOT has conducted multiple public outreach meetings with the communities along US-412, including the Inola area in Rogers County. Comments received pertaining to the section that includes the US-412 and 4170 Rd. supported the need for a grade-separated crossing.
