Work continues today on N. 4300 Rd. county bridge overpass northeast of SH-28 with eastbound I-44/Will Rogers Turnpike narrowed to one lane at this location through mid-Monday afternoon. At this time, this bridge remains closed to local traffic but is expected to reopen Monday afternoon.

Other work scheduled today includes narrowing eastbound I-44/Will Rogers Turnpike to one lane at N. 429 Rd. overpass bridge just northeast of SH-28 at Adair from 5 p.m. Monday to 8 a.m. Tuesday for repairs. Work will include flame straightening a damaged bridge beam.

In total, six county overpass bridges between SH-266 near Verdigris and Vinita were damaged by strikes from an illegally over-height commercial motor vehicle Dec. 16.
