ODOt Receives Grant Money for new Concrete On Bridge Repairs

CLICK HERE to listen to details from Radio Oklaoma's Michael Dean.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is receiving an $840,000 federal grant to help make bridge repairs last longer by using a new mixture of concrete. They will use the money to test a special type of concrete- a high-performance mix that should extend bridge life and avoid major repairs or reconstruction.

Crews will test it on upcoming repairs, and if successful, ODOT will use the concrete for future projects.
