Derived from Art Deco and Cherokee iconography, designs for this bridge affect the parapet, embankments, and piers. On the MSE walls leading up to the bridge, a block weave pattern forms a basket as commuters drive along the highway.
ODOT, CDR, the City of Catoosa, the City of Tulsa, and the Cherokee Indian Nation worked together on this bridge project in Tulsa/Catoosa. The stakeholders’ meeting included members of several American Indian tribes, city officials, casino representatives, business owners, and community members. It was challenging to bring all these individuals together to review concepts and reach a decision that met everyone’s needs and desires. However, CDR’s mediation and stakeholder compromise led the various parties to agreement on a single design that everyone was pleased with.
