Oklahoma starts $408M project to replace 81-year-old Lake Texoma bridge

Oklahoma has begun construction on a $408 million replacement for the Roosevelt Bridge over Lake Texoma. The aging structure, which is 81 years old, will be replaced by a modern four-lane bridge to improve safety and cross-state travel capacity. The project is expected to take approximately three years, with completion targeted for fall 2029. Notably, the existing bridge will remain open to traffic throughout the entire construction period, minimizing disruption to commuters.
