The upper section will stretch from the future Oklahoma City Boulevard south to Interstate 40, where the Skydance Bridge will connect it to the 30-acre lower section extending to SW 15th Street on the north shore of the Oklahoma River. Design work on the lower section is ongoing, and construction is scheduled to be finished in 2021. Read more.
