The Oklahoma Department of Transportation on Monday awarded the single largest contract in its history for reconstruction of Interstate 40 and the highway’s junction with Doulgas Boulevard while also approving an eight-year plan funding future rebuilding of the Interstate 240 junction with Interstate 35 in south Oklahoma City.
The eight-year Construction Work Plan was approved 20 years after the transportation commission started construction timelines. The plan, covering projects planned between 2023 and 2030, details $8.4 billion in transportation improvements.
“Oklahoma’s highway and bridge network serves as the backbone of the state’s economy, moving people to work and goods to market while connecting Oklahoma with the nation and the world,” said Tim Gatz, secretary of transportation. “Simultaneously, many of these investments will ease commutes and travel for residents and allow them to spend more quality time with their families.”
