Drivers need to be aware of lane closures on a portion of Tulsa's Inner Dispersal Loop starting Friday, running through Monday.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation says they working to rehabilitate three bridges over the south leg of the IDL in downtown Tulsa.

ODOT says the primary reasons are safety for drivers and workers.

All lanes of southbound US-75/westbound US-64/SH-51 (south leg IDL) will be closed from noon Friday until 8 p.m. Saturday.
Northbound US-75/eastbound US-64/SH-51 (south leg IDL) will also be narrowed to one open lane during this time.
After 8 p.m. Saturday, southbound US-75/westbound US-64/SH-51 (south leg IDL) will be narrowed to two open lanes until further notice.
All lanes of northbound US-75/eastbound US-64/SH-51 (south leg IDL) will be closed from 8 p.m. Saturday through 6 a.m. Monday.
After 6 a.m. Monday, northbound US-75/eastbound US-64/SH-51 (south leg IDL) will be narrowed to two open lanes until further notice.

ODOT says this is all part of a $4.3 million project which began in January and should be completed later this fall, weather permitting.
