Demolition on the old Myriad in OKC progresses

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — Demolition began this week on the old Myriad Convention Center in downtown Oklahoma City.

Earlier this week, the pedestrian skybridge was the first to come down, and now the next phase of the process begins.

The Myriad has played host to so many major events in OKC for more than five decades.

The demolition is considered “mechanical”, meaning no explosives are going to be used.

The wrecking company has told the city that they plan to recycle all steel and concrete from the demolition site.
