Gateway Bridge Progress Update Expected At Urban And Economic Development Meeting

The City of Tulsa is expected to get an update on the progress of the the bridge that will connect the east and west banks of the Arkansas River.

City officials expect the Gateway Bridge to be finished sometime in 2022. The bridge will span the Arkansas River near 29th and Riverside next to Gathering Place and the Zink Dam. The bridge will replace the century-old pedestrian bridge that city officials have decided is no longer structurally sound.

The City of Tulsa signed an agreement with Gathering Place in 2018 to build the bridge with about $27-million.

When the project finished it will be the first steel plate-arch bridge built in the U.S.

The update is expected to come at the very end of Wednesday's Urban and Economic Development Meeting at City Hall which starts at 10:30 a.m.
