I saw that and thought the same thing.  Maybe we could get just one cable-stayed tower instead of two?

I drove by that bridge a couple of months ago. It looks rather nice. Anything even remotely as nice will be a landmark for Tulsa.

I'd love to see something in more of an art deco style.

This style of double-decker bridge would look amazing in Tulsa:

Sadly this is likely what we will end up with:

The drawings in the application suggest it won't look much different than what is there now.  It will just be a little higher up to clear the trains underneath.

That stinks I was really hoping that we would actually get something interesting for a change.

Keep in mind most of the good looking bridges posted are long spans over navigation channels. Relatively speaking, all you need to get over the arkansas where 244 crosses is a big dirt mound and an orange dodge charger.

There would also be longer spans (better looking bridges) if the river was deep enough to make fewer tall supports more economical than many short ones.  However, a plain vanilla bridge in better shape than the one on I-44 at Malfunction Junction/161st(?) E Ave (by the Casino) will still be a reasonable deal.

Maybe we can get Waterboy to put masts/sails on his kayaks that would require taller bridges.

They wrecked a lot of cars doing that.  I forget the number.  A friend is a MOPAR fan and he told me it was at least dozens.

Its normally about 3ft deep below the Avery/11th/RR/SW/244 complex of bridges and about 3/8 of a mile across. Actually, bridges have always scared me since I was a kid travelling over the 11th street bridge (apparently I had good reason to be fearful). I lost power on my airboat and collided with the hwy97 bridge in Sand Springs a few years back....scared the bejeezus out of some nice family from Jenks. I just hope they clean up the debris from replacing any bridges over the river as they have failed to do in the past.
