Tulsa drivers are facing multiple construction projects causing lane closures and detours across the city. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) reports that eastbound I-244 is reduced to one lane at US-75 for bridge rehabilitation, while improvements continue at the I-44 and US-75 interchange, resulting in daily lane closures on both directions of US-75 near the Inner Dispersal Loop through mid-October.
Ramps connecting east and westbound I-44 to northbound US-75 remain closed, with detours directing drivers via eastbound I-244. Bridge construction also narrows both directions of US-75 at 141st Street in Glenpool, a project expected to continue through October.
Other active sites include the I-44 and SH-66 interchange in Catoosa, which is under improvement, and pavement rehabilitation on SH-97 in Sand Springs, scheduled for completion in November 2026. US-75 between 56th Street North and 66th Street North is reduced to one lane in each direction for bridge work, expected to last until summer 2026. SH-66 near Bird Creek bridge in Catoosa is also narrowed, with work projected to finish in early 2026.
Oklahoma Department of Transportation advises motorists to plan ahead, expect delays, and follow posted detours while crews continue long-term infrastructure upgrades across Tulsa and nearby areas.
