This summer the Oklahoma Transportation Commission approved the County Improvements for Roads and Bridges Plan for fiscal years 2025-29.

It will schedule more than $863 million in improvements to county roads and bridges in the state.

This includes approval of a $5.2 million project at Luther Road in Oklahoma County for the rehabilitation of the bridge and approaches at the North Canadian River.

Designed by the State Legislature to address deficient county infrastructure, the latest plan is set to replace or rehabilitate 176 county bridges – of which 79 are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete – and to improve 408 miles of roadway in the next five years.

“Oklahoma Department of Transportation appreciates the support of the Transportation Commission along with the Legislature’s recognition of the importance of the county road network. We are proud to partner with Oklahoma’s County Commissioners to deliver this program,” said ODOT Executive Director Tim Gatz.
