Street Near Oklahoma Blast Site Is Reopened
- Share via
OKLAHOMA CITY — With little fanfare, city crews took down the last barricades that have blocked traffic near the bombed-out federal building here for nearly a year.
“I’m watching a little history here today,” County Commissioner Stuart Earnest said Friday as he watched workers prepare to reopen Fourth Street.
The explosion ripped apart the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 169 people and injuring more than 500 others.
There were no public spectators for the street reopening, and little ceremony. Still to be opened is a part of Fifth Street, where the truck bomb exploded. Streets east and west of the site reopened several months ago.
