New Bridge Makes It Easier To Get Around Downtown

Posted: Updated:
Tulsa -

  It's now easier to get from Downtown Tulsa to the Brady District.

  The Boulder Avenue Bridge between 1st Street and Archer is now open for two-way traffic.

  City leaders held a dedication ceremony Monday afternoon.

  The bridge was closed to vehicles in 1998, then pedestrians in 2008, as it continued to deteriorate.

  The $8 million project was paid for with money from the third penny sales tax and a 2008 bond issue.
