Temporary repairs planned ahead of reconstruction project
Temporary repairs planned ahead of reconstruction projectAn Oklahoma Department of Transportation asphalt maintenance project for Highway 60/Adams Boulevard in Bartlesville kicked off this week, with repairs being made to the highway between the U.S. Highway 75 overpass and Highway 123.
The asphalt maintenance project will improve the condition of the roadway and is intended to be a stop-gap to provide the public a smoother ride and “more robust road” until the future full-depth reconstruction takes place, which is currently set to bid in February 2027.
Lane closures should be expected along this corridor throughout the duration of the asphalt maintenance project, which is expected to conclude by Aug. 1.
One lane of traffic for each direction will remain open during the project; however, motorists are encouraged to select alternate routes of travel when possible to avoid delays and traffic congestion.
Work is underway this week starting near the intersection of Highway 60 and Quapaw Avenue, including lane closures along Highway 60 going west toward Highway 123. Quapaw will be closed at the highway intersection until work is completed in this area.
Local streets along the corridor are set for temporary closure at the highway intersections. Those roads include:
- Chickasaw
- Delaware
- Osage
- Dewey
- Armstrong
- Santa Fe (north side only)
- Oak
- Hickory (north side only)
- Virginia
- Penn
- Rogers
- Morton
- Bucy
- Adeline
- Sunset
Some intersections will be flag controlled to allow through traffic. These include Cherokee, Choctaw, Elm, and potentially others to be determined as the project progresses.
“This is done as a safety measure to keep the public safe as well as for the safety for the workers present. Please be patient while workers are directing traffic in these areas,” an ODOT spokesperson said.
