Roads

District 1 has overseen the construction of 124 lane miles of road in the last few years. Oklahoma County District 1 is responsible for maintaining approximately 169.93 miles of roads within Eastern Oklahoma County. This total includes roads in the unincorporated areas of District 1 and the interior roads in all or part of Forest Park, Jones, Nicoma Park, and Spencer. Together, these two responsibilities account for approximately 32% of the total road miles in Oklahoma County.

In addition to the primary road responsibilities listed above, District 1 has entered partnerships with Oklahoma City, Midwest City, and Del City for the maintenance and construction of roads.
