Project background:

The northbound US-169 to westbound I-244 bridge replacement project began in March and will replace the ramp on a new alignment adjacent to the current ramp. Work is expected to be completed in spring 2024, weather permitting. The Oklahoma Transportation Commission awarded the $19 million contract for the project to Manhattan Road & Bridge Company in September 2022.
