OK Energy Today July 8, 2026

At Monday’s meeting, the Oklahoma Transportation Commission approved the County Improvements for Roads and Bridges Plan for Fiscal Years 2027 to 2031. The updated five-year plan includes nearly $950 million in scheduled upgrades to off-system county roads and bridges, those that are maintained by counties rather than the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, across all 77 Oklahoma counties. 

Included in the plan is a more than $20 million project supported by Competitive Highway Bridge Program grant funds to reconstruct the Belford Bridge over the Arkansas River in Pawnee County, as well as two other bridges.

Established by the Oklahoma Legislature and administered by ODOT, the CIRB Plan targets aging and deficient county infrastructure. Over the next five years, the updated plan aims to replace or rehabilitate 238 county bridges, including 105 structures currently classified as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete and improves 808 miles of county roadways.
