Successful Tests Could Lead To More Projects Using Specialty Concrete On Oklahoma's Bridges

Oklahoma is getting $840,000 to help make bridge repairs last longer.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation will use the federal grant money to test out a special type of concrete.

The high performance mix helps extend bridge life and avoid major repairs or reconstruction.

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