Bridge Demolition Work Narrows Lanes On I-44 In Tulsa

Rain isn't stopping workers from removing part of a Tulsa bridge deck over Interstate-44 in east Tulsa on Saturday.

The demolition work on 145th East Avenue is part of an ongoing bridge replacement and widening project on the interstate highway.

East and westbound I-44 will be shifted and narrowed to one open lane in each direction all weekend long due to the work.
