When are Bartlesville downtown streets scheduled to be resurfaced?
Funding for the Downtown Streets Mill and Overlay project ($2,030,300) was approved by voters in the 2018 General Obligation Bond Election and includes a mill and overlay and restriping on downtown streets between Hensley Boulevard and Adams Boulevard (north/south) and Cherokee Avenue and Keeler Avenue (east/west).
This project is being timed to coincide with the completion of the Tower Center at Unity Square construction, underway at Sixth Street and Dewey Avenue, and the East Downtown Storm Sewer project, which currently has the intersection of Fourth Street and Osage Avenue closed, in an effort to avoid having to do the streets resurfacing in patches or having to re-surface following construction of the above two projects. The next phase of downtown landscaping improvements along Frank Phillips Boulevard will also be incorporated into the resurfacing project, for which plans are nearing completion.
Design plans for the Downtown Streets Mill and Overlay project are about 85 percent complete, according to Director of Engineering Micah Siemers.
“Our goal is to advertise bids on March 1, open bids March 23, and hopefully award a contract for the project at the April 6 City Council meeting,” Siemers said. “Construction would most likely start in early to mid-May dependent upon contractor availability.”
It’s a date

Frank Phillips mill and overlay project underway
Can you tell me why the orange cones are on Frank Phillips all the way from the railroad tracks to Sunset Boulevard?
That’s the beginning of the Frank Phillips Boulevard mill and overlay project approved by voters in the 2018 General Obligation Bond Election. Contract crews recently began saw cutting and other work in preparation of the resurfacing project, which involves a mill and overlay between Park Street and Sunset Boulevard.
All roads lead to ODOT
Are there any plans to add a traffic light at the U.S. Highway 75 and 2200 Road intersection? That intersection has seen increased traffic with the development in the area over the past few years.
This would be a decision of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, as ODOT owns and maintains all highways within the state, including this intersection. City staff is not aware of any plans by ODOT to install a traffic control signal at this location.
