The City of Lubbock continues to strive to meet the transportation needs of its citizens. The City must continue to anticipate the infrastructure needs for a growing population, to provide a safe and effective transportation system. Erskine Street needs to be widened to accommodate an increase in traffic due to continued growth in Northwest Lubbock. This roadway is designated in the 2018 Thoroughfare Master Plan, to become a modified principal arterial. Erskine Street will be built as a concrete 5-lane multi-modal roadway, with the Milwaukee Avenue and Erskine Street Intersection to be built to an interim 3-lane condition until the ultimate condition is constructed, which will be the upcoming Milwaukee Avenue From 4th Street to the North City Limits Bond Project. In response to RFP-23-16917-TF, proposals were received and opened on February 23rd, 2023 from 2 vendors.
