AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Crews from the Texas Department of Transportation will be doing road repair and maintenance across the Texas Panhandle this week.
There are a couple of projects of particular note in the Amarillo area. Work continues on the new Grand Street overpass, the northbound lanes on the east-side of the road are closed. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction on the two west-side lanes from half a mile south of 3rd street to half a mile north of 3rd street. The project is expected to be completed by March of 2012.
The Rockwell Bridge over I-27 will also be closed again this week for reconstruction. Drivers are being asked to use the FM 2219 exit for access to east and west Rockwell Road until June of next year.
Below is a list of other projects that could cause delays around the Panhandle.
·On the IH-27 frontage roads, expect continued lane closures at various intersections between Hollywood Street and Buffalo Stadium for patching.
·At the IH-40/IH-27 interchange and areas on IH-27 just south of the interchange, expect lane closures at various locations for guardrail replacement.
·On IH-40, expect continued lane closures in both directions from the US 287 split to the Carson County line for fog sealing.
·On IH-27, expect lane closures at the intersection of Western Street for pavement marking.
·On IH-40, expect lane closures at the intersections at Ross, Nelson, and Grand Streets for pavement marking.
·On West Loop 335 (Soncy) traffic is down to one lane in each direction from Hillside to 81st Street for construction. Traffic is also down to one lane in each direction at the curve near intersection of Soncy and Hollywood Road
