FM 179 Gets Major Upgrade in Lubbock | Lubbock News

Texas is pouring nearly $10 million into a major upgrade of FM 179 in Lubbock County—wider lanes, new traffic lights, fresh pavement, and improved drainage—all set to begin next week. Expect lane reductions, detours, and slower speeds as crews work close to traffic; drivers are urged to find alternate routes and stay patient. Speed limits are dropping to 45 mph north and 55 mph south, with doubled fines for violations. The project will wrap up by fall 2027.
