Guess the time it takes him to look up the bridge rating ran over his alloted time at the library...
If you look at an areial photo of the WB 244/ SB 75 bridge it looks like swiss cheese that someone tried to fill in all the holes. |

Yikes. I used to drive this stretch of road everyday to work...(worked at 23rd and Jackson, so I exited at the 17th/Southwest Blvd exit). I remember how bad it was then. If I remember looking it up, it's the worse rated highway in the city limits, and definitely the worst rated along an interstate route. |

Yep, that's it. And for perspective, compare the size of some of the repairs to the two tankers going across the bridge. |

I am curious as to why the Creek and Kilpatrick expansions are happening before the Turner?
The Turner has been under constant repair for the 23 years that I have had a license. Tolls have gone up and up, traffic has increased, and you can count on 15% of your trip being 1 lane at any given time due to the constant repairs.

Actually, other than the new Rte. 66 bridge spanning I-44 between Kellyville & Bristow, there's no current work going on and no lane closures. Of course, that's this week... |

Just wait a minute or two. The idiots at the OTA will find something to tear up.
The Creek section is disgusting. Rain didn't do that; idiots did that. I have waited and hoped for dozens of years that the OTA would finally hire a Civil Engineer AND let him/her do their job. Alas, it is not to be! I shall pass on to that big turnpike in the sky before they actually become competent. But then, it really IS all about the interest on those double tax exempt bonds for the buddies of high office holders, isn't it??

They have road work going on all over. They just finished that downtown I-244, 412, & Highway 75 mix master thing and now they are tearing up the hwy 75 bridge just to build another bridge when there is nothing wrong with the current bridge. I-44 is a mess west of Sheridan.  Are you for real?? |

Walk away from that question, you risk serious headaches and indigestion, similar to drinking the water in Mexico. |

That stupid bridge is of the same design as the I-35 bridge in Minneapolis that collapsed several years ago. It's rating is lower than that bridge received just before it collapsed. Those facts helped ODOT, INCOG, City of Tulsa & the Tulsa Chamber to lobby for the federal funds to replace it.
There are no deck truss bridges in Tulsa. The closest one is on I-44 near the Missouri line. |
