The construction includes a new connection from the John Kilpatrick  Turnpike terminus at SH-152 (Airport Rd), around the Will Rogers World Airport to I-44, north of the South Canadian River. This project will connect Southwest OKC and the metro area and continue the Outer Loop. It will increase access and offer alternative routes from I-40 to I-44 and, ultimately, I-35. The project includes interchanges at I-44 and SH-152.
