What We're Doing
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is widening Perkins Road between McElroy Road and Lakeview Road. The widening project includes turn lanes, storm sewer improvements, sidewalks, and a retaining wall in some locations.
To accommodate construction of this road project, the City is responsible for relocating water lines in the area.
