Two holes opened in two days on Tulsa roads, and I’m not talking about the holes you’d find on 11th Street. Although, many of those are probably crumbling due to wear and tear, too.

An 8-foot long hole opened on the bridge on I-44 and 161st E. Ave. Friday, causing many drivers to scream “Oh S***!” This is the main highway that leads east to the Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa, which means a ten-minute delay for those spending their retirement checks.

Two days after ODOT filled the first hole with dry oatmeal and pudding, a second 3-foot hole opened on same bridge.

Technically, this bridge isn’t a Tulsa road. It belongs to ODOT. Please avoid correcting me.

Tulsa’s roads are an embarrassment to the city, well, so is ORU’s architecture, but the out-of-town I-44 traveler can’t avoid this one. I don’t see why they just don’t paint over it. It’s amazing what a coat of paint can do to change your perception. There are reality shows based on fresh coats of paint. They did it every week on Jersey Shore.

Paint one hole orange and the other red. Claim it’s an OSU/OU rivalry. It will save money, time and look much nicer. It could become a statewide theme: “The Glory of our Holes.”

For anyone about to travel to Tulsa, I’ve highlighted the roads that are safe to drive on. Enjoy.
