The Oklahoma Transportation Commission signed off Monday on an updated five-year work plan for county roads and bridges. State lawmakers created the County Improvements for Roads and Bridges program in 2006 in order to help local governments pay for projects they couldn’t afford on their own. The updated plan covers work through fiscal year 2026. "The nearly $755 million five-year plan includes the replacement or rehabilitation of 272 bridges, including 129 structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. Additionally, there are 443 miles of county roadway that will be improved with this plan," said Oklahoma Department of Transportation Local Government Division Engineer Shelly Williams.
