The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will be performing maintenance operations on the 'railroad' bridges along Interstate 27 in Lubbock, Texas between Main Street and Broadway. This will result in hour-long rolling closures on the interstate on Monday, February 16 and Tuesday, February 17 as crews replace bearing pads on both the southbound and northbound bridge structures.

Why it matters

Rolling closures are a common technique used by transportation agencies to temporarily halt traffic during short-term construction or maintenance work. These closures help ensure worker and driver safety while allowing crews to efficiently complete critical infrastructure upgrades.

The details

On Monday, February 16, TxDOT will focus on the southbound I-27 bridge, with drivers expected to encounter two hour-long rolling closures during the day. The following day, Tuesday, February 17, the work will shift to the northbound bridge, again with two anticipated hour-long closures.

• The maintenance work is scheduled for Monday, February 16 and Tuesday, February 17.
• Southbound I-27 bridge work is planned for Monday, with two hour-long rolling closures expected.
• Northbound I-27 bridge work is scheduled for Tuesday, also with two hour-long rolling closures.

What’s next

Drivers are urged to seek alternate routes around the work zone and exercise patience during the rolling closures.
