News Notes

Bridge detour

If you head toward Buffalo Springs or Ransom Canyon, plan another route. The Texas Department of Transportation is scheduled to demolish the FM 835 bridge over the North Double Mountain Fork Brazos River, east of Loop 289, on Sun., Nov. 15. The detour uses FM 40 (4th Street) and FM 1729 to reach FM 835 and FM 3523. KCBD says the detour should last until late next spring, when the replacement is scheduled to be done.

Voting machines

Lubbock County could replace its aging voting machines in 2027 or wait until 2029, and Elections Administrator Troy Havard would avoid a 2028 switch because voters and poll workers would be using the machines for the first time in a presidential election year. He briefs commissioners Monday. Lubbock Lights

Playoffs

With 47 area teams in playoff contention, Frenship and Lubbock-Cooper Liberty both play at 6 p.m. Friday. Liberty is coming off its first-ever 10-0 season. KCBD
