Odessa Midland, TX, October 15, 2026 —
The City of Midland is urging drivers to avoid Wadley Avenue and two intersections: Wadley Avenue and Midland Drive, and Midland Drive and Loop 250. The city is recommending that drivers use alternate routes.
The advisory identifies those locations but does not provide a reason for the request. It also does not state when the guidance takes effect, how long it is expected to remain in place, or whether the locations are closed to traffic. The city’s recommendation to avoid them should not be taken as confirmation that access is restricted.
No specific alternate routes are identified in the information provided. Drivers are therefore being advised to plan around the named locations, but the notice does not describe which surrounding streets may be suitable alternatives or whether conditions differ among the three points.
The information provided does not include details about traffic conditions, construction, an incident, or other circumstances that prompted the advisory. It also does not identify a city department or official as the source of the guidance. Without those details, the scope and duration of the request cannot be determined.
The locations named are Wadley Avenue, the Wadley Avenue–Midland Drive intersection and the Midland Drive–Loop 250 intersection. Beyond recommending alternate routes, the city’s stated guidance provides no further direction in the available summary.
