LUBBOCK – A project that will make major improvements to Woodrow Road (CR 7600), from US 87 to Indiana Avenue, in Lubbock County is scheduled to begin Monday, Oct. 30. The $38 million, Lubbock County project will completely rebuild the existing roadway from a two-lane rural roadway to a five-lane thoroughfare.
The project is funded by Lubbock County but TxDOT is overseeing the contract and construction work that will rebuild 2.7 miles of Woodrow Road to include two lanes of traffic in each direction, a continuous left-turn lane and will make drainage and traffic signal improvements.
Motorists traveling on Woodrow Road can expect traffic to continue to be one-lane in each direction, side street closures, slow moving traffic and delays. Students and parents are advised to give themselves extra time for school drop-offs and pick-ups.
Plans call for work to begin at Avenue P.
Drivers are urged to use caution when driving through the work zone since crews will be working in close proximity to traffic and should keep the following tips in mind:
Slow down and always follow posted work zone speed limits. Speeding is one of the major causes of work zone crashes. Remember, traffic fines double in work zones.
Pay attention. Workers and heavy equipment may only be a few feet from passing vehicles.
Be patient. Delays from roadway construction can be frustrating, but it only takes a few extra minutes to slow down for a work zone.
General contractor is Webber, LLC, of The Woodlands, TX. The project is anticipated to be completed in fall 2026.
