Commuters in Tulsa can expect significant roadway constriction over the coming months as various infrastructure projects are set to narrow key routes, potentially impacting daily travel times. According to an advisory issued by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, starting Monday, US-75 will be squeezed down to one lane in both the northbound and southbound directions between 56th St. N. and 66th St. N. Oklahoma Department of Transportation has stated that these closures will persist through the summer of 2026 to accommodate a bridge rehabilitation project.
Meanwhile, drivers who frequent the southern part of US-75, particularly near Jenks, should prepare for evening lane reductions. Southbound US-75 will contract to a single lane between 81st St. and 96th St. from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. on weeknights, continuing through mid-September due to bridge repairs. Additionally, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation advisory outlines daily lane closures on the northeast corner of the Inner Dispersal Loop (IDL), affecting northbound US-75 at I-244, and the westbound I-244 off-ramp to 1st St., each narrowed to one lane from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Eastbound I-244 near the US-75 junction will be reduced to one lane until October 2025 for bridge repairs. This will likely slow down traffic and cause congestion. Also, SH-151 over Keystone Dam will be narrowed to one lane with traffic controlled by temporary signals while the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers does repairs, as per the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
