Highway 75 Bridge Repair in Jenks, Oklahoma Halted by Eagles Nest A multi-million dollar bridge repair project on Highway 75 in Jenks, Oklahoma, was abruptly halted after just one and a half days due to an eagles nest near the site. The project, which began on January 5th, was paused by the evening of January 6th to comply with environmental rules. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) had to cut the highway down to one lane, causing significant traffic backups and concerns about months of delays. The issue was discovered during early surveys in November but only realized this week, as the nest overlapped with the required buffer zone for traffic control. ODOT is now working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to obtain the necessary clearance before restarting the project, which is expected to be completed by November. Checkout Solipillow.com
