Infrastructure

The Association of Oklahoma General Contractors is working hard to build Oklahoma. Continued investment in our state’s roads and bridges guarantees safe transportation for families.

The 8-Year Construction Work Plan contains the Oklahoma Department of Transportation’s priorities and strategies to build, maintain and repair 245 project miles to improve urban accessibility, more than 720 miles of two-lane highways and 686 bridges across Oklahoma.

Released in September 2018, the 2019-2026 plan proposes a $6.1 billion future investment in our state’s infrastructure. It’s the state government’s only long-term, transparent financial and means more jobs that pay well.

There’s a phrase used in the trucking industry: if you bought it, a truck brought it. And delivering all those goods requires use of our nation’s roads, highways, bridges and tunnels.

The trucking industry – which hauls 70 percent of the nation’s freight and pays half of all highway taxes – understands how vital modern transportation infrastructure is to our nation. That’s why our Infrastructure Task Force recently conducted the first in a series of visits with Transportation Secretary Chao and lawmakers urging swift action on a long-term infrastructure spending package to address America’s critical need for highway and bridge improvements.
