Darren Saliba, Regional ODOT engineer shared with Rotary a basic state of the bridges in North Eastern Oklahoma.

Main points:  the budget has been increased over the last few years to all real fixes rather than just the patch work of previouis years and administrations.

He presented maps showing exactly what bridges need repair,  which have been repaired and which need replacing.

He also showed a willingness to take and answer audience questions, as a commitment to be available to respond those questions that required research.

— Rotary Club of Muskogee, a chapter of Rotary International, was founded in 1913 with the mission to 1) contribute to the health and growth of Muskogee by being active, contributing members of the community by providing assistance and support to disadvantaged groups/individuals and the organizations that serve these populations, fostering development of Muskogee’s youth, and supporting nonprofits with missions compatible with Rotary’s overall goals;  2) support district, national and international Rotary initiatives; and  3) nurture business by supporting club member business owners, executives and appointed representatives.
