Accident Investigators to Shut Down Part of Interstate 27 and 82nd Street Wednesday Morning

The Lubbock Police Department will be shutting down parts of Interstate 27 and 82nd Street Wednesday (July 11) morning for an accident investigation.

Accident Investigators will be looking into a July 4th crash that occurred on I-27 between a motorcycle and a car. Officers will shut down the northbound lanes of I-27 between the 34th Street and 19th Street exits. Northbound I-27 traffic will have to take the 34th Street exit and then rejoin I-27 just past 19th Street. The closure will go into effect at 8 a.m. Wednesday morning and is expected to last two to three hours.

After the I-27 closure is completed, investigators will go to the 1500 block of 82nd Street. Officers will then shut down westbound traffic on 82nd Street between Avenue L and Avenue P to investigate a July 6th crash. The closure is expected to begin around 10 a.m. and last approximately two hours.

Keep these closures in mind during your Wednesday morning commutes.
