Highlights of the Oklahoma Transportation Commission’s Monday, July 1, meeting include adoption of the updated five-year County Improvements for Roads and Bridges Plan, an update on the final phase of the “Off-Broadway” I-235/I-44 interchange project and a contract to resurface 5 miles of I-40 near Shawnee.

The commission voted to approve the annual update to the CIRB Plan for Federal Fiscal Years 2025 through 2029. The plan includes $863 million for reconstruction or rehabilitation of 176 county bridges and improvements to 408 miles of county roads during the next five years. The CIRB program uses designated state funding administered by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation combined with federal, local and tribal funds for the highest priority county transportation projects. The plan is updated annually in partnership between county commissioners, their Circuit Engineering Districts and ODOT.

“The CIRB is representative of good investment opportunities on the county road system and has become instrumental in helping the commissioners make progress on their bridges and roads,” ODOT Executive Director Tim Gatz said.
