I-27 bridge maintenance project

A $1.4 million Texas Department of Transportation project to make improvements to the I-27 bridges began in May. SCR Construction Group, LLC, of Richmond, Texas, is the project contractor.

“Work to replace bridge joints, make deck and concrete repairs, place a new road surface and upgrade the metal beam guard fence began on the outside lanes of the southbound bridge,” said Mike Wittie, P.E., TxDOT Lubbock Area engineer.

The work will require the main lanes to be reduced to one-lane of traffic. The long-term lane closures will give work crews the space needed to stage equipment and safely make the repairs.

Motorists should anticipate traffic delays and are urged to use caution when driving through the work zones, since crews will be working in close proximity to traffic, Wittie said.

The project is scheduled to wrap-up in fall 2023. Work will take place weather permitting.
