The latest forecast from the National Weather Service shows some light icing is possible on elevated surfaces Saturday evening and Sunday morning, but the weather service anticipates few travel issues due to the light ice.
The City of Lubbock Streets Department will treat the three overpasses within the city that it is responsible for. Those overpasses are on Avenue Q north of the Marsha Sharp Freeway, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard over 34th Street, and East 24th Street over Southeast Drive. Crews will treat the overpasses after sunset and prior to midnight.
Members of the Streets Department continue to monitor weather conditions and will mobilize ahead of any potential freezing conditions.
TxDOT crews are on standby for rapid response if necessary, and digital messaging boards will alert drivers to the potential of icy conditions.
Drivers are encouraged to watch for the sand/salt trucks and stay at least 200 feet behind them.
