They should hook on too I-244 and tow the whole thing over into the State of Kansas, It is without a doubt, the worst road in the U.S.A.

Typical example of the fine planning that goes into government projects; highway repair on one of the busiest stretched of highways in Tulsa, especially near downtown, with Mayfest in full-swing!!! Bravo ODOT and whoever the other planning geniuses were on this project!

They just want us to think they are "fixing" the problem. They are going to move at the same rate as construction workers move...they don't. They will block it off and maybe "patch" a few things. It might make it better for a few weeks. But they do nee to "tow the whole thing" somewhere. They need to use the money we have been paying forever and fix the whole d**** thing for good!!!

I don't understand why they don't do the roads at night where there is less traffic. It is a nightmare during the day when traffic is at its highest and people do get into wrecks and not only that, it would be safer for the contruction workers unless someone is drunk and runs into them.

Once they remove the beam they have to keep going until it is fixed. They just can not stop just because it is daylight. Besides the way some of these idiots drive it is not safe doing much repair work at night. Construction workers ave families to.

I want to know why the public is unable to view the ODOT traffic cams online I know they did a story about it last fall and said "Possibly in the future". Hell didn;t we pay for the damn cams why can;t we see them but the hypos and other law enforcement see them? Can we say big bro watching us??????
