Tulsa County Bridge Project On State Transportation Agenda

The Oklahoma Transportation Commission is expected to vote at its meeting Monday on awarding a contract for a $9 million project to reconstruct the Highway 266 bridge over Highway 169 in Tulsa County.

State officials say the area around the 46th Street North interchange floods often and the work will include improving drainage as well as road surface repairs.

In addition, the commission could decide to move forward with plans for the installation of a traffic signal for the northbound exit ramp at the Highway 75 and Highway 20 interchange in Collinsville.

When they meet in Oklahoma City the commissioners are also scheduled to consider the Oklahoma Department of Transportation's plan to improve highways and bridges in the state through 2021.
