text: SH-85 closes near Ketchum in Delaware County Oct. 9
  
  All lanes of SH-85 are scheduled to close at Duck Creek near Ketchum starting Oct. 9 through late spring 2020 for a bridge replacement project.
  
  The official detour is on the state highway system, using US-60 and SH-82 around the bridge closure. Drivers will need to plan ahead for extra travel time. A map is attached showing the official detour route. 
  
  This is part of a nearly $6 million project which began in September to replace the century-old bridge on SH-85 at Duck Creek.  The project was originally scheduled for a spring 2019 start, but the Oklahoma Department of Transportation changed it to begin in the fall to allow the surrounding communities to better prepare for the detours and to reduce the impact to businesses during the lake season.
  
  The overall project is expected to complete in late spring 2020, weather permitting.
