ODOT approves updated road, bridges plan

OKLAHOMA CITY (KAMR/KCIT) — The Oklahoma Transportation Commission said it approved the County Improvements for Roads and Bridges Plan for Fiscal Years 2025 through 2029 during its meeting Monday.

The approval of the plan scheduled more than $863 million in improvements to county roads and bridges in the state.

“ODOT 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. “These projects represent a significant investment in transportation infrastructure and will undoubtedly have a positive safety and economic impact to our state.”

The plan looks 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.
