Striping projects and one mile of resurfacing scheduled for bidding

Bookmark and Share

On Thursday, Feb. 28, the Board of Directors of the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) provided the final necessary vote for funding three miles of safety striping on Broadway from Waterloo to Simpson. This project will be let by ODOT this year in conjunction with six other pavement marking projects within District 1. Areas to be striped include parts of Kelly, Simmons, two areas of Charter Oak, Western, Penn and Broadway. In December 2012, we encumbered funds to pave the same three miles of Broadway and selected Atlas Paving as contractor for the project. Atlas has been waiting for weather which is warm and dry enough to allow them to begin work.

Mark SharptonAnother District 1 project which goes to bid through ODOT this year in June is a paving project on Simpson Rd. from Sooner to Coltrane. ACOG approved $282,880 in federal funds toward resurfacing this mile and included the project in the 2014 Transportation Improvement Plan.
However, we requested it be moved to 2013 due to readiness and the Board of Directors agreed. Simpson qualified for funding since it is classified by the Federal Highway Administration as a major collector.

Next week I will update you on progress we are making toward paving five miles of Coltrane from Waterloo to Seward Rd. This major project is being funded with both state and federal dollars. Most recently, ACOG approved $4,000,000 in federal funds toward the project. This money becomes available next year. However, preliminary work is already underway and is being paid for through the state County Improvements for Roads and Bridges (CBRI) program.
