A road rehabilitation and sewer line installation project on East 21st Street from South Peoria Avenue to Riverside Drive is scheduled to begin on Monday, April 20.

The project will be completed in three phases, with East 21st Street open to two-way traffic in the westbound lanes throughout construction.

During the first phase of the project, construction will begin in the eastbound lanes of East 21st Street between Riverside Drive and South Detroit Avenue. During this time, South Main Street between East 21st Street and East 22nd Street will be closed to thru traffic.

In the second phase, work will move east between South Cincinnati Avenue and South Norfolk Avenue. In the final phase, construction will continue east between South Madison Avenue and South Peoria Avenue.

Each phase is expected to last approximately 70 days.

During construction, drivers are encouraged to slow down and follow all posted traffic signs.

The City of Tulsa has contracted with Triangle Construction and Utility for this $3,484,000 TMUA Water Operating Fund project, and construction is scheduled for completion before the end of the year.

Area neighbors have already been notified, and a public meeting was held to discuss project specifics in December at the Centennial Center in Veterans Park.
