TULSA, Ok. - AM 740 and FM 102.3 News/Talk KRMG's Steve Berg reports that businesses and motorists around I-44 and Peoria are breathing much easier now that the blocked artery is back open for traffic a full 29 days ahead of schedule. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation's Kenna Mitchell says it's no accident, just good old cash. "The contractor had a lot of incentives to get it open as early as possible and we did realize of course that it was a huge inconvenience for drivers and businesses in the area," Mitchell says. Besides Peoria, they've also reopened the access road between Peoria and Riverside on the north side of the highway and the entrance ramp from Peoria to westbound I-44 is also back open. Still, a lot of work is being done on the north side of the highway, east of Peoria. That's still blocked up.
