ODOT To Inspect Bridge Over Highway 412 At 65th West Avenue

A stretch of Highway 412 will close just west of downtown Tulsa as Oklahoma Department of Transportation engineers inspect an overpass damaged by a crane.

The 65th West Avenue bridge is closed and has been for nearly a week. Eastbound lanes of Highway 412 just reopened Monday, but ODOT will close the one lane once inspections begin.

A semi was hauling a crane truck didn't clear the overpass last Thursday. The crash bent some of the bridge's beams and caused some concrete to crumble and fall.
