ODOT is widening I-35 through Cleveland, McClain, Garvin, and Love counties, acquiring right-of-way from private landowners along a long, populated stretch of the corridor. National ROW fights to maximize every dollar you're owed.
🛡️ Legal counsel coordinated when your case needs it — you're never without protection.
ODOT's I-35 widening project, part of the 8-Year Construction Work Plan, adds capacity to Interstate 35 from the Oklahoma City area to the Texas line. Because it widens an existing highway through Cleveland, McClain, Garvin, and Love counties, the project requires partial right-of-way takings from landowners along a long, populated stretch of the corridor rather than a single large taking.

The agency's appraisers work for the agency — not for you. Their initial offer routinely omits significant categories of compensation you may be entitled to under Oklahoma law.
Land values along the I-35 corridor south of OKC have risen as the metro area grows. ODOT's appraisal date may lag actual current market conditions, especially near Norman and Purcell.
Land near I-35 interchanges often has significant commercial development potential. If a partial taking limits your ability to develop that frontage, the lost potential is fully compensable.
A partial widening taking can leave an oddly shaped or harder-to-use remainder parcel worth significantly less than before — even when only a strip of land is taken.
Ranches and farms along the corridor with active agricultural income may have that income discounted or ignored in ODOT's initial offer.
Properties losing direct access to I-35 or its frontage roads due to widening may suffer severe access damage that must be independently quantified and compensated.
Residential structures, fences, signage, irrigation systems, and other improvements in the take area must be accurately replaced or compensated at full replacement cost.
We work on contingency. You pay nothing unless we improve your offer.

No. This is a free-highway widening project managed by ODOT, not a toll facility. ROW is still acquired under Oklahoma eminent domain procedures, and you have the same rights to negotiate and contest the offered compensation.
Yes. Even a partial taking for widening can trigger compensation for the value of the land taken plus any damages to the remainder of your property, including lost access or reduced usability. An independent appraisal can capture the full picture.
Development potential is a legitimate and compensable element of land value. ODOT's appraisal may use raw land comparables that don't reflect your property's highest and best use. An independent appraisal can make this case.
No. National ROW is a right-of-way consulting firm, not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice. We help landowners understand their options, quantify damages, and negotiate with ODOT.
