New Speed Limit in Odessa/Midland TX I-20

They recently changed a 38 mile stretch of I-20 here in the Odessa/Midland area from 75 MPH to 65 MPH permanently. This starts from the west at Moss Ave (Exit# 108) to approximately 4 miles east of the east BI-20 ( Exit #144) going towards Stanton. there is also multiple construction zones at 55 MPH in the area, Thanks to multiple over height loads hitting our overpasses and requiring replacement.

 

Indeed. More than happy to chi chat about anything here with the oilfield with anyone.

 

The road construction is separate from the speed limit change. I just wanted to mention that inside the 65 zone we have multiple construction zones at 55

 

We still have the service and production traffic, not the exploration and drilling traffic, whcih has dipped but not as much as you think it would.. It has been hectic here

 

Yup I was driving truck by that accident. We do need 3 lanes. West Texas is getting ready for one way service roads in the coming year like the east part of the state.
