Rogers County approves $500,000 share for ODOT resurfacing project on U.S. 66 through Claremore
Summary
Commissioners approved a project agreement with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation for resurfacing U.S. 66 through Claremore and agreed to a $500,000 county contribution toward the roughly $4.3 million project.
Rogers County commissioners on July 1, 2025, approved a project agreement with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) for resurfacing U.S. Route 66 through Claremore and agreed to a county contribution of $500,000 toward the project.
The county’s staff said the resurfacing covers U.S. 66 through Claremore and will extend to Lowry Road. County staff said the total project cost is about $4,300,000 and that the city of Claremore and Rogers County were each being asked to contribute $500,000. “I don’t know if anybody’s driven 66 through Claremore, but it definitely has got to be done,” a county speaker said during the discussion.
Why it matters: the project targets a heavily traveled stretch of U.S. 66 through Claremore; local contributions by the county and city are part of the funding package for the resurfacing work.
Commission action: the board moved and approved the project agreement (ODOT project agreement number 3858704) and authorized the county’s participation and funding commitment.
