TULSA - Drivers planning on driving the Tisdale Parkway this weekend may have to find an alternate route due to scheduled construction.
According to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, all lanes in both directions will be closed between I-244 and Pine Street starting at 8 p.m. Friday.
Detour signs are already in place.
Osage Hills Casino spokesperson Christ Barton suggests those coming from Tulsa to the Tracy Lawrence concert at 7 p.m. Saturday to use U.S. Highway 75.
"We want to encourage our guests to take Highway 75 north and get off at the Gilcrease Expressway, westbound and that'll take you right to the casino," he said.
Lanes are expected to reopen at 5 a.m. Monday before the morning commute.
