TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa drivers have dubbed the goal-post style structures along Interstate 44 and Highway 75 “traffic-henge.”

These “henges” were completed in 2022 and are the foundation for ramps, but construction on the interchange was stopped over a year and a half ago.

“The interchange itself was always planned as five separate projects when we initiated the whole process. That was just to break it up into more manageable pieces. Both in terms of traffic as well as getting funding for those projects,” said TJ Gerlach with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT).

Gerlach said there may be an end to the interchange construction in sight.

The Oklahoma Traffic Commission (OTC) approved a $252 million construction contract.
