Resurfacing for SH18 to start next week

Resurfacing of SH 18 between Meeker and Chandler is expected to begin shortly after the July 4 holiday, Meeker’s Town Administrator has confirmed.

Town Administrator Dickie Walton stated he was told by an Oklahoma Department of Transportation official the project will begin Tuesday, July 6.

“That is all he would tell me, though,” Walton added.

According to information from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation website, the resurfacing project is to run from the U.S. 62 junction in Meeker and extend north.

The information states the length of the SH 18 project is 13.26 miles northward towards Chandler.

The project was awarded to Haskell Lemon Construction from Oklahoma City at a cost of $2,998,726.10. ODOT awarded the project on April 5, the agency’s records show.
