I am still a firm believer that at each city limit sign coming into Amarillo, we need to have huge signs that reads, "Welcome to Amarillo, Where Every Road is Under Construction."

Lane closures for routine maintenance work:

  • When exiting Interstate 40 eastbound to Amarillo Boulevard, the right lane will be closed on Amarillo Boulevard from Monday morning and overnight into Tuesday for mill and fill operations.
  • Amarillo Boulevard, the eastbound right lane will be closed from State Loop 335 to Coulter Street on Tuesday for mill and fill operations. The eastbound Coulter Street exit will be closed for a short time while crews mill through it.
  • Westbound exit to Bell Street from westbound Amarillo Boulevard will be closed for mill and fill operations. Motorists should follow the detour at 9th Avenue to proceed on Bell Street.
  • Watch for mowers near and at the downtown I-40 and I-27 interchange. Please stay back and give crews plenty of room to do their work.
