Long-Awaited 5th Street Extension About to Begin

KWGS News

Construction begins next week on a project touted as a way to improve access to the courthouse, main library, and new Aloft Hotel. The extension of West 5th between South Denver and Elwood has been in the works for years, but redesigns and cost challenges have delayed the project…until now. City of Tulsa Engineering Director Paul Zachary says construction begins next Monday.

The plan is to finish up the six million dollar road project and open it at the same time as the central library renovation in summer of next year.
