Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Issued
Sep. 9, 2025
The Department is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit Statements of Qualifications from experienced and qualified firms for replacement of the Roosevelt Memorial Bridge (US-70 over Lake Texoma) joining Marshall and Bryan Counties. This project will be delivered using a Modified Progressive Design-Build (MPDB) approach, which emphasizes early collaboration between the Department and the selected Design-Build teams to optimize project outcomes.
Team selected to deliver new US-70 Roosevelt Bridge over Lake Texoma
April 7, 2026
The Oklahoma Transportation Commission approved the joint venture of Zachry Construction and Traylor Bros., Inc. as the apparent best value proposer to move forward with the replacement of the US-70 Roosevelt Bridge over Lake Texoma.
The project will deliver a modern structure designed to improve safety, reliability and long-term connectivity across the region. The team was determined through a competitive procurement process using a unique “modified progressive design-build” project delivery method, which allows ODOT to contract with multiple design-build teams to collaborate closely with ODOT personnel during design and construction planning. This approach incentivizes design-build teams to streamline delivery and optimize the design, budget and construction timeline. It is the first time this approach has been used in Oklahoma by ODOT.
Progressive Design-Build Procurement Update
May 28, 2025
In response to significant storm related damage to the existing U.S. 70 lake causeway sustained on May 19 and 20, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is accelerating the progressive design-build procurement timeline for the Roosevelt Bridge Project as outlined in the table below. ODOT understands the aggressive nature of this schedule and is working closely with our project partners to prepare for construction later this year.
