New construction to start on 4 Tulsa highways

A $5.2 million resurfacing project in Tulsa and Rogers County is scheduled to begin Friday, May 29.

This project will address deteriorating surface conditions in four heavily travelled areas:

·         I-44/US-412 near the SH-66 junction near Catoosa

·         US-169 between 21st St. South and 51st St. South

·         US-64/SH-51 (Broken Arrow Expressway) from the southeast corner of the Inner Dispersal Loop to near Lewis Avenue

·         I-244 from south of Arkansas River south to the US-75 junction (Red Fork split)

Crews will begin work on the I-44 and I-244 segments first and plan to start the US-64/SH-51 (Broken Arrow Expressway) section in July and the US-169 segment to follow.

All phases will involve various lane and possible ramp closures and drivers should plan ahead for significant delays in these corridors.

The overall project is expected to complete in early October, weather permitting.
