AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Out and about this next week, the Texas Department of Transportation says motorists can expect delays throughout Amarillo because of construction projects.
Paul Braun, TxDOT spokesman, said all projects are subject to change because of the weather, emergency work and other unexpected events.
-- On I-27, expect the interchange ramp from downtown to I-40 westbound to be closed on Tuesday, May 22 for patching.
-- On I-40, expect the interchange ramp from I-40 eastbound to downtown Amarillo to be closed on Wednesday, May 23, and Thursday, May 24, for patching.
-- On I-40, expect lane closures in both directions from the interchange to Coulter Street for patching.
-- On I-40, expect lane closures in both directions from Eastern Street to Pullman Street for edge work.
-- On the I-27 frontage roads, expect lane closures in both directions from 26th Street to Western Street for patching.
-- On Grand Street, the northbound lanes on the east-side of the roadway are closed for construction of the new overpass. Traffic is reduced to one lane in each direction on the two west-side lanes from about ½ mile south of 3rd Street to about ½ mile north of 3rd Street. This lane closure will be in effect until the project ends by summer of 2012.
