www.EmploymentCrossing.com The Oklahoma Transportation Commission has approved a $4 billion program to improve roads, replace 449 deficient bridges and finish relocating Oklahoma Citys busy, trouble-prone Crosstown Expressway. It provides the final $194 million needed to push the Crosstown, an elevated section of Interstate 40, south to an alignment along the Oklahoma River, opening up land for development between the shore and the city\'s core. The highway will also be expanded to 10 lanes. The project is to be finished in 2012. Over the last several years, the Crosstown has undergone frequent repairs. Holes sometimes open in the road deck, dropping concrete to the ground below. Some observers are concerned that the current structure may collapse before the work can be completed. \"I\'m not going to say that it\'s impossible, but I am going to say it is highly unlikely,\" Transportation Director Gary Ridley told the Associated Press. Ridley travels on the Crosstown to and from work. Originally built in 1965, the expressway carries 120,000 vehicles a day, almost 50,000 more than its intended capacity of 72,000. The program will also fund numerous road improvements. To find a road construction job in Oklahoma, click here.
