Traffic is being diverted to U.S. 177, according to Timmons. The Caddo Creek Bridge on U.S. 177 is down to one lane, so it could be slow going for many drivers.
Authorities recommend people who drive between Dallas and Oklahoma City seek an alternate route, such as Highway 69/75 through Durant or Interstate 44 through Lawton.
A state official said no storm-related injuries have been reported, but authorities are still searching for a 2-year-old boy who was swept away by a swollen creek Wednesday.
Forecasters say 6 to 11 inches of rain have fallen on southern Oklahoma in the past 24 hours.
