  • Tulsa River Parks Authority - Pedestrian Bridge Replacement

    The City of Tulsa -Tulsa River Parks Authority, in association with The Gathering Place Tulsa Community Foundation, is proposing to replace the Pedestrian Bridge across the Arkansas River in Tulsa, Tulsa County, Oklahoma (T19N R12E SN13) adjacent to the Zink Dam. Components of the pedestrian bridge replacement would impact Levee C of the Tulsa – West Tulsa (TWT) levee system, a federally constructed levee. The levee was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and after completion in 1945, ownership was transferred to the Tulsa County Drainage District No. 12 for continued operations, maintenance, repairs, rehabilitation, and replacement actions. The proposed alterations and modifications are operation and maintenance responsibilities of the non-Federal sponsor, the City of Tulsa, and will be implemented at no cost to the federal government. Site location maps are included below for reference.
