Bridge Work Done, State Reopens Highway Between Barnsdall And Pawhuska

Traffic on state Highway 11 between Barnsdall and Pawhuska is moving again after the state Department of Transportation finished work on a bridge replacement project over Red Eagle Branch Creek.

The highway was reopened to traffic Wednesday. 

Crews closed down the highway in early July so ODOT could replace the 87-year-old "structurally deficient" bridge just west of Barnsdall.

The project cost $685,000.
