ODOT Rant

[SoonerP226]

I was all over Tulsa today coming in on 412 to 101st and Garnette over to Bass Pro, over to 71st and back out using the 244. A little slow down on 244, but it was moving at 4:30. Clear sailing through Sand Springs and back home.
Guess I missed all the issues in this thread.

Thirty minutes to an hour later and it would've been a very different story. If you'd hit the southbound 169 to westbound Creek interchange around 5:30, you would've been going through nearly stop-and-go traffic and seen the line of vehicles at the Memorial exit backed up onto the highway.

At least that's what I experienced around that time.

I guess I'm going to need to go back and review where the Tulsa issues are. We will be over there next week for training for our Summer jobs and testing of the van's equipment. I don't really want to get tied up into traffic jams.

We should chill out on ODOT, they are really trying to work with what they can and have had quite a few issues lately. For example they just had to lay off 5000 workers...

Someone invented a shovel that stands up by itself.

Yeah, we got into town just after morning rush hour and left town as the afternoon rush hour was starting up.
We always schedule arrivals and departures to avoid the peak times.

Every city sux if you want my opinion

It’s more a question of when than where. As long as it’s not 7:45-8:15 am or 4:45-5:45 pm, it’s not too bad.

No different than I-44 going S. at I-240, where they split and SW 59th on ramp just before that area at around 4 PM it will back up to I-40 and remain that way till after 6 pm

There is a DDI in Elk City and our firm designed the Single Point Urban Interchange SPUI that will be going in at I40 and Douglas. Talk about a phasing nightmare that one was and is. We’re also putting a DDI at I35 & highway 9.

I knew about the elk city DDI, and 35 and 9, I did some work on both, but wasn't aware of 40 and douglas
