Rockslide, flooding shut down I-35 in Oklahoma between Ardmore and Davis
Oklahoma Department of Transportation
A huge rockslide on Thursday blocked a section of Interstate 35 through Oklahoma's Arbuckle Mountains, between Ardmore and Davis.
Tropical Depression Bill has forced the closure of several Oklahoma highways including Interstate 35 from Ardmore to Davis.
According to Captain Paul Timmons with the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, I-35 is closed for a undetermined amount of time due to high water and a rock slide.
The highway connects Oklahoma City to Dallas-Forth Worth, and state troopers are helping clear dislodged boulders from the roadway.
As of 3 p.m. only northbound I-35 is closed from exit 47 to exit 51, just south of Davis, and will remain closed for an undetermined amount of time.
