Road Closures on Loop 289 Expected to Carry Through Tomorrow

Crews with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) are continuing repairs to concrete railings on south Loop 289.

Loop 289 Down for Repair

TxDOT Lubbock recently announced the much-needed repair in a post on X on Monday stating that traffic will need to be diverted to alternate routes during the construction.

According to the official news release, TxDOT crews have been repairing concrete rails on "the south Loop 289 flyover/direct connector, to northbound I-27."

Here's a birds-eye view of where this construction is taking place:

As a result, traffic will be delayed and diverted through Thursday.

When Will the Roads Open Again?

Repair is expected to begin both Wednesday and Thursday just after the morning rush hour on both days. During this time, the flyover will be closed to traffic to allow the crews to have the space needed to complete the work safely and efficiently.

According to the release, "drivers can use the cloverleaf ramp to the I-27 frontage road or use the 82nd Street turnaround to connect with northbound I-27."

The inside lane heading eastbound on Loop 289 will also be closed during repair.

The good news for drivers is that the flyover is expected to be open following afternoon rush hour, as long as weather and progress permits.
