Road closures begin for construction of A Gathering Place

The RiverParks trail between the pedestrian bridge at 31st Street and 27th Street will be closed for approximately two weeks to relocate a gas line.

Oklahoma Natural Gas Co. is relocating the 12-inch gas line in preparation for a City of Tulsa storm drainage project near the trail as part of The Gathering Place.

No roads are affected during the project, but that’s all going to change soon.

“There will be improvements in the very near future that are going to start impacting Riverside Drive itself as well as the trails and the pedestrian bridge,” said City Engineer for the City of Tulsa Paul Zachary.

Riverside Drive will be closed this weekend for emergency repairs to the pedestrian bridge.

Here are the schedules road and trail closures:

February 28 at 6 a.m. until March 1 at 6 p.m.: Temporary closure of Riverside Drive between 31st Street and 21st Street, pedestrian and bike trail between 27th Street and 31st Street, and pedestrian and bike bridge over Riverside Drive due to emergency demolition

Week of March 9: River Parks Bike and Pedestrian Trail between 35th Street and 27th Street and east end of Pedestrian Bridge over the Arkansas River

Week of March 16: 31st Street between Riverside Drive and Boston Place closed to all traffic but local traffic will be accessible on 31st Street between Boston Court and Peoria Avenue

Week of July 13: Riverside Drive between 24th Street and 35th Street closed to all traffic

Groundbreaking for A Gathering Place in Tulsa began in the fall of 2014.

Park construction is expected to be completed in 2017.
