The Gilcrease Expressway is made possible through a partnership between the city of Tulsa, state of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Department of Transportation, the Indian Nations Council of Governments, Federal Highway Association and the OTA.

The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA) officially started construction on the Gilcrease Expressway extension in Tulsa, as part of the Driving Forward initiative.

The extension is a five-mile bridge that will connect L.L. Tisdale Parkway to Interstate 44 and complete the western loop around the Tulsa metro area. The project will help relieve traffic congestion during peak periods and provide a new and more direct route to city attractions and points of interest in Tulsa’s urban core.

Project completion is scheduled for 2022 with a total cost of $330 million. To read more about this project, visit www.PIKEPASS.com or www.drivingforwardok.com.
