If you haven't already planned a new route if you travel Loop 335 and Bell, you are going to have to make changes. Changes especially if you have to get a child to Randall High School.
In February this year a semi-truck went off the Bushland Bridge and damaged the westbound portion of the bridge. Due to the damage that was cause the bridge has to be replaced. The construction of the bridge begins today.
The Bell Street Bridge over I-40 has been demolished and is now officially closed. That's just one of the updates this week from the Texas Department of Transportation. Here's what you can expect this week.
We had the opportunity to talk with Sonja Gross with the Texas Department of Transportation about all the construction going on in Amarillo. She gives us updates on Bell, Soncy, the Interchange, the Loop and the upcoming Bushland Bridge construction.
Another project will begin this week as they start preparing for the demolition of the bridge at I-40 and Bell. So expect delays from one side of I-40 to the other in Amarillo
