Heads up, Tulsa drivers: if you're planning to navigate the intersection at East 71st Street and South Wheeling Avenue next week, prepare for a shift in your usual commute. According to a release from the City of Tulsa, starting Monday, May 12, the traffic signals at this intersection are going dark for a short period.
The traffic signals at the intersection are temporarily out of service for improvements. In the meantime, a four-way stop will be in place, with temporary flashing beacons to direct traffic. This arrangement will remain in effect until Friday, May 16, with no further updates provided at this time regarding the long-term plans.
In the absence of the usual traffic signal patterns, patience will be essential. For those who frequently use this thoroughfare, detours and potential traffic congestion may cause some inconvenience; therefore, planning ahead is a prudent approach.
