FM 835 bridge demolition scheduled for Nov. 15

LUBBOCK - This weekend, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is scheduled to demolish the FM 835 bridge at the North Double Mountain Fork Brazos River located just east of Loop 289 in Lubbock.

Starting Saturday, Nov. 15, construction crews will begin removing the existing bridge and detour traffic around the work area. Traffic will be detoured to FM 40 (4th Street) and FM 1729 to connect with FM 835 (Buffalo Springs Lake) and FM 3523 (Ransom Canyon).

Olive Street will also be closed to FM 835 and traffic detoured around the work zone using the Loop 289 frontage roads and 58th Street.

Work on the project to build a new bridge structure and make improvements to the FM 835/Olive Street intersection began in early October.

The detour will be in place until the project is completed in late-spring 2027.
