Starting this month, work will begin at multiple sites around the City of Bixby as part of the Memorial traffic synchronization program. Travel lanes along the Memorial and Mingo Corridors will be affected over the next 9 months. Project construction will be managed by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation with assistance by the City of Bixby and the City of Tulsa. The scope of this project will include upgrading the traffic signals from E. 111^th St. S. to E. 161 St. S. on Memorial and from E. 111^th St. S. to E. 131 St. S. on Mingo to allow for remote monitoring and operation of traffic signals. The new system will be synchronized with the traffic signals in the City of Tulsa between 111^th St. S. and 91 St. S. to optimize traffic flow for all corridor users. Periodic lane closures for upgrades to traffic Signal equipment are expected. This $1,526,488.34 project will be primarily funded by a Federal Surface Transportation grant with supplemental funding by the City of Bixby.

126^th and Memorial

Construction will also begin on a new 4-Way traffic signal at the intersection of E. 126^th St. S. 7 S. Memorial Drive. This will include curbed center medians along with dedicated turn lanes. This $899,667.21 project was funded by a Federal Surface Transportation grant allocation, Vision 2025 Funds, and the City of Bixby.

Periodic lane and sidewalk closures in Downtown Bixby are part of an Oklahoma Natural Gas project to upgrade to their Service lines and infrastructure over the next month.
