Avoid Road Construction And Traffic Delays: Know Before You Go
As more folks are getting back to work, that means the number of cars and trucks on the road is increasing. Even while we have been All In, roadwork has continued across the Texas panhandle. With the increase in traffic comes the increase in delays. Before you hit the streets, know the areas to avoid.
AMARILLO AREA
- Be prepared to stop or follow detours as crews make patching repairs:
- On Monday and Tuesday, May 4 and 5, on FM 1912 between SH 136 and N. Lakeside Drive.
- On Tuesday, May 5, on FM 1912 between SH 136 and Folsom Road.
- Watch for crews performing edge work:
- Wednesday, May 6, on State Loop (SL) 335 southbound between SW 9th Avenue and Amarillo Boulevard.
- Thursday, May 7, on SL 335 northbound between Amarillo Boulevard and SW 9th Avenue.
- Expect various lane closures on Amarillo Boulevard in both directions for patching repairs in the area of Western Street.

- Expect various lane closures on the I-27 frontage roads in both directions from Rockwell Road to McCormick Road for patching and edge maintenance.
- On US 60, watch for various closures of the passing lane in both directions as crews finish guardrail installation.
