History[edit] Tulsa streets were simply dirt tracks until after the turn of the 20th century. The first contract for paving was awarded in 1906. Bricklaying did not begin until October of that year and proceeded slowly because local demand for bricks far exceeded the capacity of nearby brick plants.[1] Later, streets were paved with concrete or asphalt. Streetcars[edit] The Tulsa Street Railway Company (TSR) was formed in 1905.

Interurbans[edit] In 1911, the Sand Springs Railway Company built an interurban line connecting Tulsa and Sand Springs. Highways[edit] Tulsa Interstate 44 was faced with a sinkhole found on the right lane of the westbound traffic between Lewis and Peoria on June 2, 2010. Street network[edit] Tulsa follows a systematic naming and numbering convention for all streets falling within its municipal jurisdiction.

Addresses reflect their associated hundred block from either Admiral or Main. External links[edit] References[edit]
