  Western Rd. in Stillwater closes Monday for realignment project
  A $5.3 million project to reconstruct and realign Western Rd. in Stillwater is scheduled to begin Monday, Jan. 4. This work will close Western Rd. from W. Hall of Fame Ave. to W. McElroy Rd. for the duration of the nine-month project. Traffic will be detoured onto N. Willis St. to W. McElroy Rd.
  
  When rebuilt, Western Rd. will be shifted to the north at the W. Hall of Fame Ave. intersection, connecting it to Farm Road. Western Rd. will be widened to four lanes and the area will be made more bicycle and pedestrian friendly with lanes and a trail added.
  
  The project was awarded in December at the Oklahoma Transportation Commission’s monthly meeting to Allen Contracting Inc. It is funded in partnership with the City of Stillwater and is expected to be open by fall 2016.
