Zachry Construction Corporation Enters Oklahoma with Roosevelt Bridge Replacement

Zachry Construction Corporation/Traylor Bros., Inc. (JV) selected to deliver new US-70 crossing over Lake Texoma

OKLAHOMA CITY, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Zachry Construction Corporation is entering the Oklahoma market and was selected by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to deliver the US-70 Roosevelt Bridge replacement project under a modified progressive design-build contract. This project will be delivered by Zachry Construction Corporation/Traylor Bros., Inc. (JV).

The project marks Zachry's first project with the Oklahoma DOT and an important milestone in the company's continued regional growth. Together, Zachry Construction and Traylor Bros., Inc. will deliver a new bridge that strengthens a vital transportation connection in southeastern Oklahoma while supporting long-term mobility, safety and economic activity across the Lake Texoma corridor.

Opened in 1945, the Roosevelt Bridge has served as an important link between Bryan and Marshall counties for more than 80 years. The replacement project represents a significant investment in modernizing this corridor for residents, businesses, and visitors who rely on the crossing for daily travel, commercial movement and access to the Lake Texoma area.

The project scope includes construction of a new four-lane bridge on a new alignment with shoulders, a median barrier, and bicycle and pedestrian accommodations. The work also includes demolition and removal of the existing bridge. Traffic will be maintained on the existing bridge during construction to minimize impacts to the traveling public.

"Entering Oklahoma with a project of this significance is an important milestone for Zachry," said Travis Mross, president of Zachry Construction. "The Roosevelt Bridge is a vital connection for the communities around Lake Texoma and an important corridor for regional mobility and economic activity. We look forward to delivering infrastructure for ODOT and serving Oklahomans for the long term."

The Roosevelt Bridge plays an important role in connecting communities, supporting commerce and maintaining access to the Lake Texoma region, a destination for recreation, tourism and local business activity. The new crossing is expected to improve safety, reliability, and resilience while helping support continued growth across the area.

"Traylor is honored to be part of the Zachry/Traylor team selected to help deliver this important bridge replacement for ODOT," said Greg Cangelosi, Southern Area Manager for Traylor Bros., Inc. "This project reflects the team's combined experience and a shared focus on delivering complex infrastructure that improves safety, enhances connectivity and maintains mobility throughout construction."

Key improvements are expected to include a wider roadway, upgraded lighting, modern safety features, and enhanced resilience for the future. ODOT's project completion goal is October 1, 2029. Upon completion, the new Roosevelt Bridge will provide a safer, more efficient connection across Lake Texoma and support continued growth across the region.

The Zachry Construction Corporation/Traylor Bros., Inc. joint venture brings together deep experience in complex bridge, transportation and heavy civil construction. Working with Parsons and MKEC Engineering, Inc., and in coordination with ODOT, the team will advance a project designed to deliver long-term value for the state and surrounding communities.
