Traffic Advisory-Bridge Closure - Bridge M14-4, NE 29th Street

During the recent biennial bridge inspection, performed by H.W. Lochner for the Oklahoma Department of Transportation on behalf of the City of Lawton, it has been determined the load rating for bridge M14-4 (NBI 30883), to be inadequate to remain open for travel. Bridge M14-4 is located on NE 29th Street (between NE Heritage Creek Drive and NE Heritage Drive) west of NE Flowermound Road and north of Cache Road. The bridge has a significant deflection in the top of the pipe, along with significant corrosion in the flow line of the pipe. These issues and others combined result in an inadequate load rating. Therefore the bridge will be immediately closed, pending replacement or repairs.
