City of Broken Arrow
Home MenuRoad Widening Project Life Cycle
A project's life-cycle can be lengthy because so many factors play into the project. For example, road widening efforts involve negotiating land purchases for right-of-way access and relocating utilities. Some road projects may involve multiple jurisdictions working together. Factors outside the City's control and even Oklahoma weather can impact a project's schedule.
A road project can take around six years from start to finish. This timeframe is the reason the City of Broken Arrow strategically plans for multiple projects to be ongoing at the same time around the community.
