Department Description

Tulsa County’s Highway Engineering department employs just over 100 team members covering the areas of engineering, road & bridge maintenance and construction, and levee maintenance. 

Engineering

Engineering staff oversees the planning & design of county roads & bridges, review of development design in unincorporated Tulsa County, review and issuing of utility, driveway, and oversized load permits, as well as maintenance and operation of county levees.

Roads & Bridges

Highway maintenance is handled by one of our three highway maintenance facilities, each located in a commissioner district.  The maintenance districts are responsible for road paving preparation, culvert & ditch maintenance, crack sealing & pothole repairs, right-of-way tree trimming, minor bridge maintenance, and snow & ice removal.  Tulsa County’s Highway Construction division is a shared division which performs road & bridge repair and replacement, signal maintenance, road signage and striping, and highway vehicle & equipment maintenance for all commissioner districts.  Our Maintenance Districts and Highway Construction division work in tandem to maintain and extend the life of Tulsa County roads and bridges and make travel safer & more cost-effective for Tulsa County motorists and taxpayers.

Levees

Highway Engineering maintains the Jenks and Haikey Creek levees, minimizing flood risks to thousands of Tulsa County homes and businesses.  Levee inspections are necessary to ensure that systems will perform as expected, identify deficiencies or areas that need monitoring or immediate repair, identify changes in the levee system over time, collect information to help make informed decisions about future actions, and provide the public with information about the levees on which they rely.  The field inspection also includes verification of existing conditions, review of operation logs, identification of changes in the system’s floodplain since construction, and addressing impacts from modifications as a result of emergency response activities.
