The proposed project is within the Tulsa urbanized area and the Tulsa Transportation Management Area (TMA) as shown in Figure 5. It is located within the I-44 corridor, a portion of the Primary Highway Freight Network, from its intersection with I-244 extending east approximately two and one-half miles to the Arkansas River (see Figure 6). The project’s extents are between 33rd W. Avenue and the Arkansas River. Bridge improvements are planned at 33rd W. Avenue, Union Avenue, and at the I-44/US-75 interchange. The interstate will be widened from Union Avenue to the Arkansas River. FIGURE 5: Tulsa Transportation Management Area (TMA) FIGURE 6: Project Elements Map The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is the project sponsor. ODOT is coordinating the project with the Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG), the City of Tulsa, and Tulsa County. The I-44/US-75 Improvements project is a true partnership, using State and Federal funds as shown in Table 1 below. Future Eligible Cost The future eligible cost for the I-44/US-75 Improvements project is $108,686,040. A project of this magnitude is beyond the capabilities of ODOT to fund with and federal appropriations alone. Without FASTLANE funding, ODOT would be forced to build the project in multiple phases over many decades. Availability and Commitment of all Committed and Expected Funding Sources and Uses of all Project Funds The availability and commitment of funding sources are presented in 1.
