CLOSED: US Hwy 283 from I-70 @ Wakeeney southward (unknown)
US 77 is closed between US 50 and US 56. The detour route is only a good one if going west on US 50 from Emporia. If coming from the north or south (on US 77) or the west (on US 50 from Newton), Sunflower Rd. into Marion is the best bet (about a 15 minute delay from 77 or 5 minute delay from US 50).
Directions:
From US 50 going east: go until you see "Marion via county road" sign (about 15 miles from I-135), turn left and go into Marion. Make a right at Main St. (stop sign), then at the beginning of an S-curve, make a left to Cedar St. and go up to US 56. Take a right and turn left at the US 77 junction.
From US 77 going north: make a left onto US 50 and turn right at the " Marion via county road " sign (about 5 miles), then follow the same directions as from US 50.
From US 77 going south: make a right onto US 56 and go until the sign saying " <- Marion ", turn left and go to the stop sign (Main St.) and make a right. Go to 3rd St. (this is Sunflower Rd.) and make a left, taking you to US 50. If going to US 77, turn left and go for about 5 miles.
They sound more complicated than they really are, and saves you about 20 minutes from the detour US 77 route.

Lubbock Texas
Construction continues on the Marsha Sharp Freeway What will show on your maps as US82-Brownfield Hwy-Tech Freeway.
The good news is the west loop 289 portion (fastest route around Lubbock) is now finished and is 3 lanes each direction. The will be some short closures soon when they put up the flyovers for the freeway, but they will mostly be at night. Traffic flows well around the west loop now, and US82 coming in from Brownfield is good up to the loop. Forget even going inside the loop!
The good news is there is a BRAND NEW North/South route on the west side of Lubbock, and is the only complete route through Lubbock going n/s that is located outside the Loop 289 This is Milwaukee Avenue and just opened today. Not a lot of traffic there so if you find yourself on the west side of Lubbock needing to get south fast, this is a great route!
US62/82 in Terry County southwest of Lubbock in under sporadic construction while the replace the driving lanes and is down to 60mph and 1 lane in 5 miles stretches.
385 in Gaines county (further southwest) they are going to be completely tearing up the roadway and replacing it within the city limits of Seminole TX, so I would avoid going through town there if possible.
