TULSA - An update this week on two road projects causing headaches for drivers downtown.

10th & Elgin

Crews are turning 10th and Elgin Avenue into a roundabout. The good news is the project is almost complete.

In the meantime, there is still a detour in place.

Drivers going east on 10th Street are detoured south at Cincinatti.

Elgin also remains closed there because of the project.

The city says it should be done soon.

Boulder Avenue bridge

Meanwhile also downtown crews are building a new Boulder Avenue bridge between First and Archer Street.

That means the eastbound curb lane on Archer is closed.

And the two northbound lanes of 1st Street are also closed during the construction.

No word on when that project will be complete.

WB 244 ramp to SB 169

And finally the westbound I-244 off-ramp to southbound Highway 169 which had been closed, opened over the weekend.

It was all part of the 244 pavement reconstruction project.
