Beginning this Tuesday, Sept. 23, through Sept. 30, the City of Chickasha will have crews working on roads around town. USAO students should be aware as some of the road closures will affect your normal commute.
According to a press release sent by the City of Chickasha, crews will mill and pave roads throughout town, and as a result, certain roads will be closed for a short period of time.

Four streets are receiving much needed road attention, including:
- 17th Street from Alabama to Grand and from Iowa to Grand
