Willis Road Construction Under Way – DETOUR INFORMATION -

TAHLEQUAH, Okla.—Through a cooperative effort between the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the City of Tahlequah and Cherokee County, West Willis Road is undergoing a complete rebuild.

Because of the construction, the UKB is asking anyone with business at the UKB Tribal Complex to take an alternate route through the Southridge housing addition so they can avoid the construction. WILLIS ROAD WILL BE DOWN TO ONE LANE AND WILL BECOME A ONE WAY EASTBOUND STREET UNTIL THE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT.

Turn west onto Southridge Drive from Highway 82. Then, drive 0.5 miles and turn left onto Highland Drive. Follow Highland Drive when it curves to the right at 0.2 miles. Turn left onto the unnamed gravel road at 0.1 miles past the curve. The United Keetoowah Band Complex is to the right.

"We understand that the road construction is going to cause some disruption to our tribal members, but the finished road is going to benefit the entire community, " said Thomas Jordan, UKB communications officer.
