ROOSEVELT – Nearly four-tenths of a mile of thin, narrow sidewalks in Roosevelt are being torn out and replaced with thicker and wider walkways for pedestrians.
The new sidewalks are being constructed on US-183 (Main Street) from the junction of SH-19 extending south for five blocks, former Mayor Nolan McCall said. The Transportation Commission awarded a $466,664 contract on the project to Tom Hudson Paving of Guthrie, the lowest of six bidders for the job.
Construction started July 16, McCall said. According to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
Average daily traffic volume on US-183 just south of Roosevelt was approximately 1,300 vehicles in 2019, while the average daily traffic count on SH-19 at the east edge of town that year was 430 vehicles, ODOT research indicates.
Roosevelt is a Kiowa County community of approximately 250 population.
