Orange Barrel Update: Detours abound for downtown drivers

TULSA - Detours are all too familiar to downtown drivers these days.

3rd Street

3rd Street is shut down next to the BOK Center because of Winterfest.

Drivers can use 1st and 4th Streets to get around it.

3rd street will be closed until mid-January.

IDL , southwest corner

Also downtown, the westbound lanes of the southwest corner of the IDL remain closed at the Houston exit.

That's because of the work on the new bridge over the Arkansas River.

Drivers can exit at Houston, or get around it by following the detour signs and looping around the IDL.

ODOT says the bridge work should wrap up sometime next year.

IDL, northeast corner

And finally also downtown, there's another closure on the northeast corner of the IDL.

The westbound I-244 off-ramp to southbound 75 is still closed because of a separate bridge rehab project.

Drivers can just keep going west on the IDL and follow the detour signs to get around that one as well.
