Project History

• 2014 ‐ Holloway, Updike & Bellen, Inc. (HUB) was tasked with designing upgrades to the corridor including widening portions to 6 lanes, replacing the railroad pedestrian bridge and updating traffic signals to match aspects along US‐69 from Okmulgee Ave. North to Shawnee Bypass, which was completed in 2006.

• 2017 ‐ HUB was directed to cease design work as the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) decided to explore realignment of US‐69 to loop around the west side of Muskogee. This realignment came with opposition from the city of Muskogee, as well as numerous residents and property owners along the existing corridor.

• 2020 ‐ ODOT has refocused attention on updating the existing corridor and tasked HUB to resume design work.

A Stakeholder meeting was held November 2, 2020 via Zoom including a slideshow presentation by HUB and Able Consulting. After the slide presentation a question and answer session was held.
