TULSA – Traffic backups ensued Thursday morning after a two vehicle wreck caused one lane of the northbound US-169 exit ramp on I-244 westbound and three eastbound lanes of I-244 to be temporarily blocked.
Not long after the wreck occurred, crews were able to reopen the northbound exit ramp from US-169 to I-244 but the two outside lanes of I-244 eastbound were closed while a sign hanging from the overpass was removed due to damage.
