The Texas Department of Transportation reports the following traffic impacts associated with I-10 construction in the El Paso area:
I-10 East at North Mesa
Sunday, April 15
9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- I-10 Eastbound will close completely between North Mesa Street (SH 20) and Resler Drive.
- Detour: Motorists will exit at North Mesa Street (Exit 11) and follow the detour signs to re-enter I-10 Eastbound using the Sunland Park Drive entrance ramp.
- Traffic pattern change: Crews will implement a change that places I-10 Eastbound traffic onto the paralleling eastbound collector-distributor (CD) lanes. By 6 a.m. on Monday, April 16, motorists will be traveling on the CD lanes for approximately a half mile between North Mesa Street (SH 20) and Resler Drive. The traffic switch will be in place for several months while crews rebuild the mainlanes of I-10 East.
North Mesa
Monday, April 9, through Friday, April 13
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily
- North Mesa Street (SH 20) westbound will have a right lane closed between North Desert Boulevard and Osborne Drive.
- Crews are building new roads that connect to North Mesa Street (SH 20). North Mesa Street (SH 20) will be subject to lane closures throughout 2018.
Continuous – 24/7
Until 4 p.m. Friday, April 13
- North Mesa Street (SH 20) eastbound will have a right lane closed between Osborne Drive and North Desert Boulevard.
- The closure is necessary to prevent high clearance vehicles from colliding with an overhead platform. The platform is in place so crews may complete construction of a bridge substructure.
- Note: During the next couple weeks, crews will increase their presence along North Mesa Street (SH 20) between Osborne Drive and Remcon Circle. The pavement needs to be replaced in that section of North Mesa Street (SH 20), per GO 10’s design plans. The work will mean motorists can expect more lane closures, periodic shifts in lane patterns, and increased traffic congestion for the next nine months.

9 p.m. each night to 6 a.m. each morning
