Starting Monday, January 6, 2025, Midland will see significant traffic changes as the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) begins a full closure of Lamesa Road and Scharbauer Drive. This initiative is part of a comprehensive plan to improve roadways and upgrade intersections within the city.
Detour Recommendations To aid in traffic flow and reduce congestion, the City of Midland recommends using Fairgrounds Road, Big Spring Street, and A Street for both northbound and southbound detours. These alternatives are expected to accommodate the rerouted traffic efficiently during the closure period.
Community Cooperation The City of Midland appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation as these important improvements are implemented. The upgrades aim to enhance safety and driving conditions for all motorists. Residents and visitors are advised to plan their travel routes in advance and allow for additional travel time while the construction is underway.
For ongoing updates on the road work and other traffic advisories, motorists are encouraged to visit the TxDOT website or contact Midland’s transportation department directly.
