When you drive along County Line Road between Houston and Kenosha streets, it’s easy to forget the narrow, tree-covered winding curve the two-lane street used to be as it crossed over State Highway 51. Now, this $20.5 million project is a straight and wide, five-lane street with a new longer bridge, improved intersections, and enhanced safety features for drivers and people using the new sidewalks.
This project is one of more than 10 miles of roadway that have been widened in Broken Arrow over the last 10 years, with another two plus miles of widening currently under construction.
In this latest edition of DRIVING BA, City Manager Michael Spurgeon and Asst. City Manager Kenneth Schwab take a look in the rearview mirror to breakdown the history of this road, why it had that weird curve, the partnerships with other levels of government, and the improvements that have now created a safer and more efficient flow of traffic on this mile stretch.
