ODOT Plans Major Infrastructure Projects in Oklahoma City Metro Area
What happened
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is planning several major infrastructure projects across the Oklahoma City metro area, including the replacement of I-35 bridges that cross the Oklahoma River in the coming years. The projects also include adjacent pedestrian bridges designed to safely move pedestrians across the river. Funding for these initiatives will come from ODOT, the City of Oklahoma City, and the U.S. Department of Transportation.
