State Highway Loop 88 (Loop 88) is a proposed state highway in Lubbock County, Texas, that would form a bypass around the city of Lubbock. The Loop 88 designation has been approved by local governments while the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) builds the project, currently known as the Lubbock Outer Route.[1]

The route will start at the intersection of U.S. Highway 84 (US 84) northwest of Lubbock and head south and intersect State Highway 114 (SH 114) and continue towards Wolfforth where it will intersect US 62 and US 82 then head east toward US 87 and Slaton, where it will end at US 84. The southern strech from Wolfforth to Slaton will overlap Farm to Market Road 1585.[2]

TxDOT anticipates construction could begin as early as 2020.[3]
