By james art LUBBOCK, Texas (NEWS RELEASE) – Work on a maintenance project to replace bridge joints and perform concrete deck repairs is being moved to the eastbound Route 289 (Northbound I-27) direct link bridge. Beginning at 9 a.m. Monday, Oct. 28, crews will begin moving concrete barriers to the direct link bridge and reopen the Indiana Avenue bridges.
The direct link bridge will be closed to traffic from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. while barriers are moved and traffic is diverted to 82nd Street to connect with northbound I-27. Drivers should anticipate traffic delays and are urged to be alert and cautious when approaching work zones.

The work is part of a $1.7 million maintenance project to replace bridge joints and repair decks and concrete on various bridges in Lubbock. Repairs to each location on the bridge are expected to take approximately 4-6 weeks to complete; if time permits. The project is scheduled to be completed in December 2025.
