This line from the article is very encouraging!
I 'wonder' if the state could expedite the I-35 bridge reconstruction to remove the piers (and hopefully create a momument commemorating the importance of the bridge as the Crossroads of America), would the LA28 Olympics consider/reconsider OKC for the rowing events. It could be a savings to the overall effort and have the space to run the events (2000 meters? vs the shortened current plan of 1500 meters in Long Beach).Oklahoma's Transportation Department also has plans to rebuild the northbound and southbound lanes of the Interstate 35 bridge at that location. Construction on the vehicle portion of the bridge is currently planned for 2028. The recent announcement that Oklahoma City will host two events in the Olympic Games that year could influence that project's timeline, however.
The Transportation Department reevaluates its long-term plans each fall.
If the city/state is going to rebuild I-35 bridge anyway, why not expedite to further assist LA, add even more Olympics to the city, AND further improve the city itself, sooner. I also wonder if the Feds could help the expedited I-35 replacement if LA28, the city, and state combined efforts to use efficiency gains to support the Olympics, the city, state, and (since it's the crossroads) the nation. ... Win, win, win, and WIN!
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
