FM 179 Upgrade Set to Begin | Lubbock News

Texas is rolling out a $9.8 million upgrade on FM 179 in Lubbock County, widening lanes, adding left-turns, fixing drainage, resurfacing, and installing new signals at US 62 — all to handle growing traffic. Work starts Sept 8 with reduced speed limits (45 mph north, 55 mph south) and crews working alongside moving vehicles. Drivers: slow down, stay alert, and avoid speeding — double fines apply.
