OKLAHOMA CITY — Rep. Jason Blair, R-Moore, secured passage of Senate Bill 1475, a measure to designate the interchange of Interstate 35 and Indian Hills Road in Cleveland County as the Toby Keith Memorial Interchange. The bill is authored in the House by Blair and in the Senate by Sen. Lisa Standridge, R-Norman.

Senate Bill 1475 honors the life and legacy of Toby Keith, recognizing his patriotism and lasting contributions to Oklahoma and the nation.

"As travelers move along one of our busiest corridors connecting Oklahoma to other states, this designation serves as a meaningful way to honor Toby Keith," Blair said. "He was not only a great Oklahoman, but he also left behind a legacy that reflects the Oklahoma Standard. This bridge will stand as a reminder of that character for years to come."

A concurrent resolution earlier this session, also authored by Blair and Standridge, honored Keith by naming a turnpike corridor the Toby Keith Expressway. The resolution was heard and adopted on the House floor Feb. 25.

Keith died Feb. 5, 2024, following a battle with cancer.

SB1475 now heads to the governor’s desk for final approval.
