Oklahoma City engineers presented preliminary design reports for a $10.5 million project to replace a deficient bridge carrying N May Avenue over Northwest Expressway to city council members Tuesday.

The two roads connect one of the city’s busiest shopping destinations, including Penn Square Mall, and large employers, including Integris Baptist Medical Center.

The bridge's height limit is lower than modern standards, and it has partially collapsed at least twice when trucks hit crossing beams. 

The spending limit for city funds on the new bridge's construction is capped at just under $4.35 million, but planners have worked to secure additional grant funding of $6.36 million through the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments.
