New Year and The Construction Continues

It's a new year and guess what, the construction of Amarillo continues.

This Week's Construction:

• Watch for crews clearing shrubs and trees around the downtown interchange of Interstates 27 and 40. Various lanes and exits will be closed at times so crews can also begin crack sealing operations.
• I-40, various lanes of the westbound frontage roads will be closed from Helium Road to the Oldham County line for placement of new pavement markings.

Ongoing projects:
Loop 335 & Hollywood

• Washington Street to I-27, the frontage road speed limit is 45 mph. The main lanes speed limit is 60 mph from Western Street to the east; there are locations with a posted 45 mph work zone speed limit.
• All side streets are now open to the one-way frontage roads; Bell Street is now a fully-functional signalized intersection.
• Frontage road traffic on SL 335 must stop for north/south traffic on Western and Georgia streets.
• Work continues on and along the shoulders from Washington Street to I-27.

I-40 Bridge Replacement & Soncy Enhancements (Soncy/SL 335)
