TULSA, Okla.- Drivers in Tulsa’s SOBO District are seeing some relief as two-way traffic has returned along East 18th Street. The change comes after months of construction tied to the “Improve Our Tulsa 1” bond package, a project aimed at resurfacing roads, upgrading sidewalks and lighting, and improving accessibility in the area.

Businesses along the corridor say the reopening is a welcome step, but construction cones and detours remain while crews finish work on sidewalks and final paving.

Construction Progress

According to the City of Tulsa, two-way traffic was restored the week of Aug. 25. Crews are still working on asphalt paving and sidewalks along Boston Avenue. The full project including new sidewalks and roadway replacement is scheduled for completion by Dec. 7, 2025.

According to the bond package, the construction aims to resurface roads, improve ADA accessibility, and upgrade sidewalks and lighting.
