Daily Amarillo Update: Road Closures, Court Access Changes, Flooding Alerts
Amarillo, TX — February 6, 2026 — Road closures, court parking changes, and flood-related travel advisories are shaping the week across Amarillo.
Morning Brief for Amarillo
Amarillo residents are heading into Friday with a mix of traffic adjustments, public building access changes, and weather-related travel concerns. Here’s a clear look at what matters most today.
Fulton Drive Closure Continues Today
A temporary closure on Fulton Drive remains in place as crews work on utility improvements tied to new neighborhood development. The affected section sits just east of Bell Street, with detours directing drivers around the work zone.
City officials say the closure is expected to wrap up by the end of the day today. Motorists are encouraged to follow posted signs and allow extra time, especially during peak commute hours.
Municipal Court Parking Shift Through Early Next Week
Visitors heading to Amarillo Municipal Court should plan for a different parking and entry setup. Construction has closed the court’s primary parking lot and main entrance.
Through Monday, February 9, drivers will need to park in nearby public or police department lots and enter the building from the north side. Court operations remain normal, but officials recommend arriving early to account for the change.
Flooding Impacts I-27 Travel
Drivers are also being urged to use caution along portions of I-27 after flooding caused lane and ramp closures. Water on frontage roads led to partial shutdowns, with some access points still restricted as conditions improve.
Transportation crews continue to monitor the area, and travelers are advised to avoid flooded roadways and check conditions before heading out.
Looking Ahead
With construction, weather, and infrastructure projects overlapping, city leaders remind residents to stay alert to daily updates. Most of today’s impacts are temporary, but they may affect commutes and appointments.
As always, taking a few minutes to plan routes and arrival times can help avoid last-minute delays.
