Charn Langford 4



Main street bridge, Norman, Ok.

This new bridge features an interchange design known as a single point urban interchange (SPUI). An SPUI uses only one set of traffic lights and is safer and more efficient than a traditional intersection. Credit for this design is given to the late Wallace Hawkes who created the first version in 1974.

Not only is the new overpass technologically superior it is more visually appealing as well and a traveler on 1-35 will notice the depiction of the land run on the walls as well as other artistic elements of the bridge.
