Read moreOPEN FOR ALL – After about six years of anticipation, the new Kingfisher Creek bridge on Lemon Road, northeast of Kingfisher, is officially open for all vehicles. That includes the big rigs, District 1 Commissioner Jeff Moss, standing beside the multi-million-dollar structure, reports. Some touching up on the shoulders remains to be done, but the bridge and paved approaches are complete. The nearly 100-year-old bridge it replaces has been closed but will remain in place and open for foot traffic, complete with a historical marker. Moss thanked landowners in the vicinity who he said have been highly cooperative throughout the construction process. Work started last summer and has been completed almost without a hitch by Sewell Brothers Construction, helped along by mostly favorable weather. Additional paving work on the busy road, which had been closed since 2019, is scheduled seven miles from U.S. Highway 81 east to the Big Four Road. Asphalt resurfacing on the three miles of the Big Four Road from State Highway 33 to the Big Four corner has already been completed. Moss said the project was made possible with federal funds thanks to the first Trump administration due to its concentration on infrastructure improvement. Sewell Construction also is near completion on the Robberts Avenue bridge at the east edge of Kingfisher. [KT&FP Staff Photo]
