As part of the ongoing Master Plan Design, conceptual aesthetics for eight bridges will be considered. All designs will be based on Norman culture and aesthetics. For Construction Phase 1, aesthetics for two of the bridges are finalized.
US-77 Interchange illustrates Oklahoma Cross Timbers ecoregion, which is comprised mostly of prairies, savanna, and light woodland. Aesthetic treatments for this bridge include stylized mixed grasses affecting the wing walls, wrapping around the piers, and also spanning the parapet. Commuters driving toward this bridge will also be able to spot the official state bird, the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, flying low above the grass blades represented on the piers and wing walls.
