A wastewater rehabilitation project has been started on South Harvard Avenue between the Broken Arrow Expressway and East 31st Street.

During this work, Harvard Avenue will be restricted to one lane in each direction.

City officials said the project is scheduled to take approximately three weeks.

Also, the pedestrian bridge under construction over the Arkansas River has been named “Williams Crossing” after Williams, a major donor toward the project.

The new pedestrian bridge will replace the old Midland Valley Railroad bridge from over a century ago.

City funding for the project includes $15 million from the Vision Tulsa sales tax, $9.4 million from other sales taxes, and $3 million savings from the 2005 and 2008 capital improvement programs.

Also, $7.2 million in private funding for this project has been raised.

“Making Tulsa a great place to live and work is a priority at Williams as we look to retain and recruit the very best talent to our business and to our community,” said Alan Armstrong, Williams president and chief executive officer. ”

Tulsa’s Gathering Place, L.L.C., an entity of River Parks Authority, is managing the construction of the project, which began in spring 2021, and is scheduled for completion in summer 2023.
