Article text:
Crews scrambled Tuesday morning to close lanes and change traffic signs after the newly opened Oklahoma City Boulevard caused danger and confusion during the morning rush.
State officials said the street is safe, but drivers had the most trouble traveling along Oklahoma City Boulevard near Walker Avenue. The street lights are not ready yet, so crews rushed to put stop signs at the intersection.
The work that's left to be done on the boulevard includes the stop lights and the crosswalks. Authorities said those should be completed by mid-September.
