OWASSO, Okla. — The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is starting a major bridge reconstruction project on Highway 169 at the 76th Street North bridge on Monday. “We know they’ve been asking for expansion of 169 for a long time, and we’re very pleased to begin this process,” said ODOT spokesperson T.J. Gerlach.
Gerlach says crews are taking down the two existing bridges on Highway 169 and replacing those brides with one wider bridge that will eventually accommodate a six-lane highway.
“It’s important to us to be able to increase that capacity for them to be able to ease their community to and from Tulsa,” said Gerlach.
Gerlach says the bridge replacement will take around 18 months and should be finished in the Fall of 2023. They do plan to maintain two lanes of traffic at all times during the daytime hours of the project. View the full article: KJRH.com
