TULSA, Okla. — The City of Tulsa will begin a multi-week project on Monday to install smart highway lighting infrastructure along the Broken Arrow Expressway between East 15th Street and South Sheridan Road. City officials said the project will include repairs to 118 existing light poles, conversion to LED lighting and installation of smart devices that will allow crews to monitor lighting status in real time. Officials said the City maintains nearly 6,000 highway lights across Tulsa. The City previously converted much of its highway lighting infrastructure from copper wiring to aluminum wiring in an effort to reduce theft and vandalism involving electrical components. Officials said the current project builds on those upgrades and is funded through the PSO franchise agreement. According to the City, the new LED fixtures will provide brighter, more energy-efficient lighting while reducing long-term maintenance costs. The smart lighting technology will also allow city staff to remotely identify outages. The project will be completed in two phases. Crews will first work in the eastbound lanes, with inner lane closures beginning near East 15th Street and progressing east in segments. During the second phase, crews will move to the westbound lanes, with inner lane closures beginning near South Sheridan Road and continuing west toward East 21st Street. Lane closures are expected on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with possible weekend work if needed. The project is expected to take up to one month to complete, weather permitting. City officials urged drivers to slow down and remain alert in work zones. To learn more about the City's street lighting system, click here. The project will be completed in two phases.
