A South Tulsa neighborhood has some construction concerns. They say a nearby project has made their side roads dangerous.

Drivers are cutting through the Woodland Glens neighborhood because part of 91st street at Mingo is closed. The city is replacing a bridge - and the road will be closed for four months. The neighbors want better signs to direct people away from the area before they get to the neighborhood. Resident David Barker, â€œthat's not going to stop everyone, but if we could get some of this traffic slowed down it would be a great help to us.â€

The city says it's working on the problem. It had few choices of ways to divert traffic during the project.
