Construction is expected to begin in six to eight weeks on a project to resurface about two miles of Memorial Road between Portland and Pennsylvania avenues in northwest Oklahoma City.

The Oklahoma Transportation Commission awarded the project to Haskell Lemon Construction Co. of Oklahoma City, which submitted the low bid of just under $2.87 million.

The project is expected to take 135 days to complete.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation will have an oversight role on the project, which is being paid for with federal and Oklahoma City municipal funds.
