City Projects
07/23/2024 Beginning Tuesday evening after 8:00pm, the Contractor performing the construction for the Widening of 149th Street in OKC from Santa Fe to Western will be closing lanes at the intersection of SW 19th St. and Santa Fe Ave. in Moore. For Westbound traffic at the intersection, the existing left turn lane will be closed. The existing westbound thru lane will be used for thru traffic as well as the left turn lane for traffic turning south during construction. For Eastbound traffic at the intersection, the existing left turn lane will be closed. The existing outside eastbound lane will be used for thru traffic as well as the left turn lane for traffic turning north. The existing inside eastbound lane will now become the westbound lane for thru traffic. Double yellow striping will separate the eastbound and westbound traffic west of the intersection during construction. It is anticipated that construction will take approximately 8 months to complete. Any questions regarding the project should be addressed with the OKC Project Construction Manager at 405-297-3732 or [email protected]
07/16/2024 Beginning July 17, 2024. Road closure on S. Santa Fe Ave from SW 34th St through SW 40th St, will be closed intermittently, (8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.), due to installation of a new headwall on the drainage structure eastside of Santa Fe. Expected completion August 2, weather permitting.
UPDATE 07/26/24: There is a delay in opening Bryant Ave to SE 4th St. The heavy rains received over the past 6 weeks have caused the bottom of the channel to become unstable due to the continued inflow of groundwater from the bottom and sides of the channel. A stable bottom is necessary to support the structural improvements. The design engineer is working on a solution to address the groundwater inflow. Once the solution is finalized an update will be posted here. Also, once we have a completion date, we will update it here.
Beginning Wednesday, May 22, 2024, Bryant Ave will be closed from Parkway Dr. to SE 4th St. This will be a construction of drainage improvements on the east side of Bryant Ave.
UPDATE: 07/29/24- The City's contractor is making improvements to the drainage channel that runs parallel to the east side of Bryant Ave. and runs adjacent to the back yards of a couple of homes located in the corner of S. Wyndemere Springs and SE 3rd St. The channel erosion is causing damage to the east side of Bryant as well as getting close to the property of those couple of backyards. The best way to make the improvements to the east side of the channel is to access the channel from SE 4th St. just east of the channel. Because of the hill from the entrance at Wyndemere Blvd. to Bryant Ave there is a sight distance problem that will require moving the outside westbound lane over to the inside lane to protect both the construction vehicles going in and out of the construction entrance as well as the public traffic traveling westbound on SE 4th St.
The traffic control described above on SE 4th from Wyndemere Blvd. to Bryant will be intermittent during the daytime hours (7:00am to 5:30pm).
The remaining 4 months of the project will require traffic control on Bryant Ave from SE 4th St to Parkway Drive while Bryant Ave is reconstructed and the west side of the channel is constructed in that area.
Turner Ave widening and reconstruction project began April 15th of 2022 with the improvements to the drainage system and the addition of a concrete box structure. Turner Ave road consists of a new concrete street section with bike lanes in each direction and sidewalks on each side of the street. This project also includes water and sewer improvements. The completion of this project provides adequate detour options once 4th Street closes for the underpass construction.

Construction of concrete flatwork, site signage, and the purchase and installation of benches and tables. We will be adding a shelter, granite walks and edge restraints, trees, and landscape beds. This will be funded by a grant the Oklahoma Recreational Trails Grant for 80% to 20% city match that the City received.
