ENID, Okla. — A couple of major, long-lasting road construction projects quietly came to a near-finish over the weekend in Enid.
After months — and years — of roadwork in two high-traffic parts of town, both the North Van Buren overpass and the 200 block of West Maple now are fully open to traffic.
All four lanes on the Van Buren overpass are open, but City Manager Jerald Gilbert said Monday some lane painting still needs to be done and lights have to be turned on.
Oklahoma Department of Transportation manages the project, and Gilbert said he didn’t know the timeline, though that the work was close to completion.
ODOT began replacing the high-traffic bridge over the BNSF Railway tracks in fall 2018, and work then was estimated to last 18 months.
