US-62 bridge replacement project begins Sept. 6 in Muskogee

A $74.7 million bridge replacement project begins Sept. 6 on US-62 in Muskogee. The project will replace both the east and westbound bridges over the Arkansas River, as well as the bridges over 55th St. on the east side of the river. During construction, traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction, and the speed limit will be reduced through the work zone. Work is expected to be completed in spring 2025. The project was awarded by the Oklahoma Transportation Commission to Manhattan Marine.
