TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Crews will begin working later this month to
move dozens of houses to make way for a wider version of Interstate
44 through Tulsa.
The state Transportation Department will move 45 houses on the
north side of I-44 in preparation for the widening project. The
homes will be taken north of the city to Sperry, where they will be
put on the market.
Plans also call for eight commercial properties to be removed
after a contract is awarded this summer.
More than 300 (m) million dollars in funding has been released
to widen the interstate between Riverside Drive and Yale Avenue.
The project is expected to run through 2011.
