3/14/06-Gov. Brad Henry signed a bill March 14 intended to improve safety on Oklahoma’s most dangerous bridges.
The new law, previously SB1288, allocates $125 million to fix the worst bridges on state highways and county roads throughout the state.
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation will get $100 million to repair or replace the most dilapidated bridges on the state highway system. Counties will get the balance to fix their worst bridges.
Construction on some projects could start this year.
