OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The chairman of the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has gotten a first-hand look at work being done on two economic-stimulus funded highway projects in Oklahoma. Minnesota Rep. James Oberstar toured the Interstate 244 Inner Dispersal Loop in Tulsa and the I-40 project in El Reno, which has received $30 million in stimulus money.

Oberstar called the $75 million Tulsa project one of the most complex of the stimulus-related highway projects he's seen. He also said he was impressed at how Oklahoma has been able to get the projects going in a short amount of time. Oberstar also looked at Oklahoma's biggest highway project, the $600 million I-40 Crosstown Expressway in Oklahoma City, which isn't getting stimulus funding but has received considerable federal money.
