ODOT proposes to replace the existing bridge over Lake Texoma and improve associated roadway approaches. The existing span bridge will be replaced with a precast concrete beam span bridge that totals about 5,462 feet in length. The proposed bridge will have an east offset that has a clear roadway width of 44 feet and an approach roadway with two 12-foot driving lanes and 10-foot paved boulders. The existing bridge will remain open during construction. The reason for discharge of fill material is for the construction of the proposed bridge over Lake Texoma with concrete piers as drilled shafts in tightly sealed forms. ODOT plans to excavate 11,800 cys from the existing roadbed abutments, in order to create "no net change" in flood storage of Lake Texoma.
