EMBARK and the City of OKC send this information as posted below:


Oklahoma City Streetcar service will be temporarily suspended and replaced with a bus shuttle from Wednesday, Feb. 18, to Sunday, Feb. 22. The four-day closure will allow crews to perform work related to the construction of the OKC New Arena.

Street closures

One eastbound lane on Sheridan Avenue from Ron Norick Boulevard to South E.K. Gaylord Boulevard will be closed. Detour signs will be in place to ease traffic flow.

One westbound lane on Reno Avenue from South E.K. Gaylord Boulevard to Robinson Avenue will be closed. Detour signs will be in place to ease traffic flow.

Streetcar Bus Shuttles Feb. 18 – 22

To ensure riders can still travel conveniently through downtown, EMBARK will provide buses to shuttle riders every 25 minutes along the OKC Streetcar Downtown Loop during regular operating hours. Streetcar rides are free through July 5, and no ticket is required to board.

Riders can board the bus shuttle at any of the 22 streetcar platforms along the route. Head signs will read “OKC Streetcar Service – Downtown Loop.” Real-time tracking will not be available, so please allow extra travel time. Please note the Bricktown Loop will not run during this service suspension, only the Downtown Loop.

Thunder Game Day Bus Shuttles will run as scheduled, two hours before and one hour after Thunder home games; visit EMBARKOK.com/Paycom for the latest information.
