January 25, 2021 Update (8:45 a.m.): Crews early Monday are working on setting up signs and traffic controls in the corridors leading into the work zone, ODOT says. They will be closing ramps and narrowing lanes later Monday once those are in place, according to spokeswoman Kenna Mitchell.
A “massive” $90 million project on Interstate 44 and U.S. 75 in west Tulsa will begin Monday.
The project will include:
Widening and reconstructing all pavement on I-44 from four lanes to six between the west side of the Arkansas River bridge and Union Avenue.
Replacing five bridges; one at Union Avenue over I-44, two U.S. 75 bridges over I-44 and two U.S. 75 bridges over Mooser Creek (located just south of I-44/U.S. 75 junction).
Replacing and slightly reconfiguring all four cloverleaf ramps at the interchange to match geometry of the new elevation of the U.S. 75 bridges over I-44.
Construction of some additional piers; these will be part of future projects for the interchange.
During the first few months, I-44 will be narrowed to one lane in each direction and northbound U.S. 75 will be narrowed to one lane at the I-44/U.S. 75 interchange, Oklahoma Department of Transportation spokeswoman Kenna Mitchell said.
