Traffic Advisory – Birdwell Lane Reconstruction Project

The City of Big Spring would like to remind motorists that construction is ongoing on Birdwell Lane between FM 700 and East 11th Place as part of the Birdwell Lane Reconstruction Project.

During this phase of construction, the east side lanes of Birdwell Lane are completely closed to traffic. Traffic has been reduced to two-way travel using the west-side lanes. Motorists should expect delays and exercise caution when traveling through the construction zone.

In addition, the following streets are currently closed to access from Birdwell Lane:

• Morrison Drive
• Alabama Street
• Monticello Street
• North Monticello Street
• East 11th Place

Motorists will not be able to turn onto or access these roadways directly from Birdwell Lane during construction. Drivers traveling to homes, businesses, and neighborhoods in the area should plan alternate routes and allow additional travel time.

The project is expected to continue for an extended period, and traffic patterns may change as construction progresses. Additional updates will be provided as new phases of the project begin.

The City of Big Spring appreciates the patience and cooperation of residents, businesses, and visitors as these improvements are completed. These upgrades are designed to improve roadway conditions, safety, and long-term infrastructure reliability for the community.

Please obey all posted traffic control devices, reduce speeds in construction zones, and remain alert for construction workers and equipment.

We understand this may cause inconvenience and appreciate your patience. For questions or additional information, please contact the Public Works office at 432-264-2501.
