July 31, 2022 Work on what is being called the Gilcrease Turnpike is wrapping up, with the $340 million project on the western extension of the Gilcrease Expressway expected to be open to traffic sometime near the end of August to early September, officials said. A Tulsa World tour of the highway on Friday revealed some of the work left: guardrail and cable barrier installation, wiring on highway lights, concrete work on the adjoining foot/bike path, highway striping and the addition of toll cost signs.
