Street crews to continue through night; Trash/recycling pickup delayed

City of Tulsa street crews continue to plow and apply salt to all of the main arterial roads in Tulsa.

Currently, Tulsa's main arterial streets are passable and in good condition at this time, but drivers are urged to practice caution, slow down, and allow plenty of time to get to their destination, especially with the potential for refreeze overnight.

Additional City street crews will report at midnight to apply additional salt and treatments to the roads due to the potential for refreeze and black ice.

As background, the City of Tulsa is only responsible for clearing snow and ice from all arterial (main) streets, and not on most major highways that pass through Tulsa. The only highways the City treats are the Gilcrease Expressway (except for the Turnpike extension), and the L.L. Tisdale Expressway. All other highway segments in Tulsa (i.e. I-44, I-244, Broken Arrow Expressway, the Creek Turnpike, Highway 169, etc.) are the responsibility of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
