Year Long Highway 11 Bridge Project In Tulsa Gets Underway Monday

Drivers could see some delays on Highway 11 near Tulsa International Airport starting Monday.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is closing one lane in each direction as part of a new project.

The $9-million project calls for fixing eight bridges on the highway between I-244 and Highway 75.

ODOT News Release

East and westbound lanes will be narrowed to one open lane in each direction from Pine Street to the airport and it'll stay that away through early next year.

Eastbound Highway 11 off-ramp to eastbound I-244 will also be shut down through mid-February.

ODOT says more closures will be announced as the project progresses.

The department suggests drivers heading to the airport plan ahead for some extra travel time during the bridge projects.

Again, the overall project will be finished early next year, weather permitting.
