Transportation Project Update:
East Alameda Street Bond Project
The City of Norman conducted a bid opening on December 16, 2021, for the Alameda Street Widening Project, located from Ridge Lake Boulevard to east of 48th Avenue East. The low bidder was Silver Star Construction, Inc. of Moore, Oklahoma in the amount of $3,616,910.70. City Council approved the construction contract on January 25, 2022. This project had a delayed start date to allow the private utility companies enough time to relocate their utilities in conflict with this project. Silver Star began work on Wednesday, April 13, 2022. This project is being constructed in two separate segments. The Urban Project Phase is from Ridge Lake Boulevard to east of 36th Avenue East. The Rural Project Phase is from east of 36th Avenue East to east of 48th Avenue East. The City of Norman is administering the construction of this project.
