The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is set to begin work to restripe the Interstate 27 (I-27) mainlanes through Lubbock County. The work is anticipated to take two months to complete and is scheduled to begin this evening.

Striping operations taking place inside the Lubbock city limits are planned to occur overnight—beginning at 6 p.m. each evening and ending before morning rush hour. Work outside the city limits will take place during the daytime.

No lane or ramp closures are anticipated during the operations, but motorists should expect slow moving construction equipment and vehicles, possible delays and are asked to slow down and drive with caution through the work zone for their safety and the safety of the workers.

Work will take place weather permitting.

For more information, contact TxDOT Public Information Officer Dianah Ascencio at (806) 748-4472.
