Purpose
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is proposing to replace two bridges on SH-9 over Flat Rock Creek and Wallace Creek. The existing SH-9 roadway has two (2) 12 foot wide paved driving lanes with 5 foot wide paved shoulders. In this area, the SH-9 roadway curves through the two bridge locations. The purpose and need of the project is to correct a bridge that is at risk of becoming structurally deficient over Flat Rock Creek and a structurally deficient bridge over Wallace Creek. ODOT will host an open house public meeting to present the proposed design for two bridges on SH-9 over Flat Rock and Wallace Creeks, located 6.0 and 6.2 miles east of junction of SH-52, in McIntosh County. The open house also provides an opportunity for the public to comment.

Description
The proposed roadway improvement through both bridge areas consists of two (2) 12 foot wide paved driving lanes with 8 foot wide paved shoulders. An offset roadway alignment to the north is planned near Flat Rock Creek which improves the roadway geometry through the existing curve. A detour to the south, near NS-4060 Road is needed due to the intersection and Flat Rock Creek bridge location. An offset alignment to the south along with a shoo-fly to the south near Wallace Creek will avoid impacts to wetlands on the north side of SH-9 near Wallace Creek.
The Flat Rock Creek bridge will be replaced with a 40 foot clear roadway width span bridge on an offset alignment to the north. The Wallace Creek bridge will be replaced with a 100 foot long reinforced concrete box on an offset alignment to the south. New right-of-way will be required. The road will remain open during construction.
