I-27 bridge maintenance project continues at eastbound US 84 frontage road

LUBBOCK -Repairs on the 66th Street bridge, at I-27, have been completed and crews are scheduled to shift work onto the eastbound US 84 frontage road bridge, at I-27, on Monday, Sept. 23; weather permitting.

Setting barricades on the bridge will require the eastbound frontage road bridge to be closed to traffic during the operation, scheduled to take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday. Southbound I-27 frontage road traffic needing to access eastbound US 84 will be detoured to 66th Street during this time.

While the repairs are being made, bridge traffic will be reduced to one-lane. The inside, left lane on the southbound I-27 frontage road will also be closed to traffic.

The US 84 frontage road bridges and other I-27 bridges are part of the $1.9 million project to replace bridge joints and bearing pads, make concrete repairs and upgrade the guardrail fencing on the bridge structures. Work on all bridges is scheduled to be completed in late-2025. Work will take place weather permitting.
