flag Oklahoma faces road and bridge project delays due to uncertain federal funding and rising construction costs.

flag Federal budget uncertainty is jeopardizing Oklahoma’s ability to plan long-term road and bridge projects, officials say. flag Though current highway work continues, prolonged funding gaps could delay critical infrastructure efforts. flag The state depends heavily on federal funds, especially from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, set to expire in 2026. flag Rising construction costs—up 63% since 2020—compound the challenge, as the state’s $100 billion highway system needs $27 billion in upgrades. flag An eight-year plan outlines $7.08 billion for 1,266 projects, but officials warn funding falls short. flag The Oklahoma Department of Transportation urges lawmakers to address the shortfall in the upcoming session.
