The companion 2024-2027 Asset Preservation Plan includes a nearly $500 million investment to extend the life of the state’s highway infrastructure. The two plans together will address 15 remaining structurally deficient highway bridges in Oklahoma not already under contract for rehabilitation or replacement. Another 395 bridges at risk of becoming structurally deficient also are included, officials said.
