Motorists in Skiatook are enjoying a newly paved stretch of roadway thanks to a $2 million road-widening project with $1.7 million of the funding coming from the Osage Nation.
A one-mile stretch of Oak Street has been extended to three lanes with the center lane designated as a left turning lane for both traffic directions. According to a news release, the Nation footed $1.7 million for the project and Skiatook contributed $300,000 in pre-construction and construction engineering costs.
