Kingston, Okla. (KXII) - The Roosevelt Bridge on Highway 70 has stood over Lake Texoma since 1942, but has recently been associated with some issues like structural damage and accidents due to it’s narrow roadways. On Tuesday night, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation asked the public what they thought should be done with the bridge. Some residents said that due to the increasing growth in the area, they believe that the community has outgrown the bridge. Others say that the bridge is already damaged, and that traffic is only going to increase. After Tuesday’s meeting, one thing was clear: there is demand for a better bridge. Whether they will repair the current bridge or build a new one entirely is a decision that will come later. View the full article: KXII.com
