Next week the I-10 Widening West project will close the Sunland Park entrance to I-10 West, and the Mesa exit from I-10 West as needed while they work on setting up the work zone to replace old asphalt pavement with concrete pavement in the small area between the Mesa overpass and the end of the work zone, which is just east of there. The Mesa entrance to I-10 East is already closed, keeping traffic eastbound traffic on the CD lanes until past Sunland Park. No biggie, right? Wednesday night North Desert will be closed at Artcraft 9PM for a barrier move, detouring traffic down to Doniphan and back up at Spur 16 to Transmountain intersection. Local traffic can stay on North Desert but only until Hoover Avenue, where a right turn will be mandatory. This is to move barrier, which is always a sign of progress.

Sunday you can expect a full closure of I-10 East at Copia starting at 5AM until 5PM as crews work on overhead sign boards and crews take advantage of that closure to also repair spall. The I-10 West ramp A to US 54 North will also be closed to repair bridge joints. Ramp A from I-10 West to US 54 North is also closing for bridge joint repair. Exit Raynolds to Montana to US 54 North or be sure you don’t miss the Loop 375 Exit and get off on Paisano else you’ll end up in Juarez and be forced to have lunch there. Could be worse.

Loop 375 Widening is closing in both directions this weekend for a traffic switch 6AM Saturday through 5AM Monday as they come closer to completing that project. Montana Widening is closing the Joe Battle intersection Monday March 31-Tuesday April 1 overnight, and this is your advance notice. There will be signed detours, but you might want to be thinking strategically about that.

Our Districtwide signing project is closing fewer exits next week. They’re highlighted below, along with any other exits I noticed were to be closed. Nobody likes to come upon a closed exit ramp.

And speaking of which, if you’re reading this on Thursday evening, know that the Mesa exit from I-10 West will stay closed overnight (!) and throughout most of the day Friday. We placed warning messages on our signs, so hopefully you are able to exit at Sunland Park/Resler and avoid that disappointment. Have a nice evening, and a restful weekend!
