Okla. Stat. tit. 69, § 69-2003: Funding

In order to maximize the funds available for the construction,

improvement, and maintenance of the highway and bridge projects set

forth in Section 2002 of Title 69 of the Oklahoma Statutes, the

Oklahoma Department of Transportation may utilize funds dedicated to

a highway or bridge project to obtain additional federal matching

funds for any bridge project for which such federal matching funds

are available. If federal matching funds are available for the

construction of all or part of a bridge project, the Department of

Transportation may give priority to the construction of all or part

of the bridge project, despite any description of such project to

the contrary, in order to obtain the federal matching funds. Any

remaining funds for such project may be used for the purchase of

right-of-way and relocation expenses.
