11th & Lewis | Tulsa Market District

The most famous highway in the country, Historic Route 66, runs right through Tulsa. The 11th and Lewis Corridor Project Plan is a project led by the City of Tulsa to develop a key intersection along Route 66. The plan’s goal is to improve the quality of life for the citizens of Tulsa, stimulate private investment and enhance the tax base. At the heart of this project is Mother Road Market, Tulsa’s first food hall, established by the Lobeck Taylor Family Foundation, and the redevelopment of the long-vacant Tulsa Welding School site into NOMA, a 260,000 square foot mixed-use multifamily development.

Wallace Design Collective provided civil engineering services for infrastructure improvements that support growth and enhance the experience in Tulsa’s Market District. Key upgrades included replacing traffic signals at the busy 11th and Lewis intersection, as well as updating more than 2,000 linear feet of 12”, 8”, and 6” water lines and over 1,000 linear feet of 18” and 15” storm sewer and roadway systems. Beautification efforts added iconic Route 66 signage and lighting, ADA-compliant sidewalks and ramps, and more than 77 trees and benches to create a more inviting streetscape. The project also included a 100-foot bore under the railroad tracks to install a new water line and fiber optic conduit, providing connectivity and utility reliability for future growth.
