Crews work on I-235 widening project at N. 50th. (KOKH\/Jordann Lucero) <\/p>\n
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation says crews have gotten a lot of work done on I-235. The interstate is completely closed at N. 50th so work can be fast-tracked during this phase of the widening project. <\/p>\n
Crews are working to remove the N. 50th St. bridge that used to cross the interstate. <\/p>\n
Closures began 8:00 pm Friday. On Saturday, the first full day of closures, ODOT says crews removed all the bridge beams and one of the pier columns on the remaining part of the bridge. <\/p>\n
Sunday crews began laying asphalt for temporary lanes.<\/p>\n
\"They're still on time, progressing very well, and they're still targeting Wednesday to finish,\" ODOT spokesperson Mills Leslie said. <\/p>\n
In addition to removing the bridge, during the closure crews are also lowering lanes, creating temporary lanes to shift traffic for future work, and making enough progress to reopen the I-44 ramp to southbound I-235. That ramp was closed on May 1.<\/p>\n
