Lubbock’s Loop 88 Phase 3C Begins | Lubbock News

Big changes are coming to Lubbock’s roads as TxDOT kicks off Phase 3C of turning FM 1585 into Loop 88 — the city’s second major state loop. Starting September 9, this $221 million project will transform a two-lane road into a six-lane freeway with frontage roads, bridges, and new ramps between Avenue U and I-27, stretching from 114th to 146th Streets. Drivers can expect reduced lanes, slower speeds, and major interchange work — all part of a larger plan to connect US 87 to US 62/82 in Wolfforth. Construction is slated for completion by fall 2031 — so buckle up, stay alert, and prepare for delays as Lubbock builds its future infrastructure.
