TULSA, Okla. — A resurfacing project on I-44 starts today.
The project will repair deck joints across the I-44/Arkansas River bridge, according to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
East and westbound I-44 will be narrowed at the bridge during the project and drivers can expect delays, especially during peak travel times.
Work also includes resurfacing two miles of I-44 from the Arkansas River bridge to near the I-244 junction (western split). This is expected to take place over several weekends and lanes will be narrowed during those times.
ODOT urges drivers to consider alternate routes.
The nearly $4 million project is scheduled to begin the evening of Monday, Oct. 14 and will have significant impacts to traffic through early 2020.
