Drivers are urged to start planning ahead for an upcoming surface and bridge improvement project on I-44 in west Tulsa. 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.
The project will repair deck joints across the I-44/Arkansas River bridge. Both east and westbound I-44 will be narrowed at the bridge throughout the project and major delays can be expected, especially during peak travel times. Consider alternate routes or adjusting travel times to avoid delays.
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.
Specific lane and ramp closures will be announced as they are scheduled. The overall project is expected to complete in early 2020, weather permitting.
