19th Street closures planned

LUBBOCK -Drivers are asked to stay alert this week while traveling 19th Street (US 62/SH 114) as crews continue work to replace water lines along the 19th Street project corridor.

19th Street, between Avenues N and Q, will be closed to evening traffic, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., starting on Tuesday, July 16, through Friday, July 19. Traffic will be detoured around the work area.

The work is part of a $25.69 million project making improvements to more than three miles of US 62/SH 114 in the city of Lubbock, from Memphis Avenue to I-27. Improvements include rebuilding a portion of the road, placing a new road surface and making updates to the drainage system, sidewalks, traffic signals and lighting.
