The City of Lubbock has joined Lubbock County and the City of Wolfforth in approving the renaming of the Outer Route to Texas Loop 88. Loop 88 would become a second loop around Lubbock with construction potentially beginning as soon as 2020.
Thursday afternoon, after 4pm, the Texas Department of Transportation announced the re-opening of some Marsha Sharp Freeway (US 62/82) main lanes in Southwest Lubbock.
Construction on the eastbound Marsha Sharp Freeway bridge deck at Milwaukee Avenue originally scheduled for May 27 has been rescheduled for June 1 due to expected rain.
