Government Shutdown Puts Oklahoma Roadwork On Hold

The government shutdown is putting several Oklahoma Department of Transportation projects on hold. This is because part of those project's funding includes federal money.

It is a statewide problem with bridge and other roadwork projects from Washington County to McIntosh County - and all the way out to the panhandle - on hold.

If the shutdown continues into next month, even more projects will have to wait.
