EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has released a list of closures that may affect your commute, including a 24-hour closure starting on Saturday, June 21, at I-10 West at the Sunland and Resler exit.
According to the news release from TxDOT, the 24-hour closure of I-10 West will begin at 3 a.m. on Saturday, June 21, and will continue through 3 a.m. on Sunday, June 22.
The westbound lanes of I-10 at the Sunland Park and Resler exits will be closed. Motorists will need to detour through the Mesa, Thorn and Redd intersections and re-enter after Redd, TxDOT said.
Below are photos and an explanation of the construction that will happen during the 24-hour closure, according to TxDOT:
Current configuration with traffic on asphalt pavement, Mesa exit accessible
Barrier move/lane shift, placing traffic on new concrete pavement
Once complete, the barrier will block the exit while contractor rebuilds those outside lanes
According to TxDOT, when the lanes shift, the Mesa exit will close and motorists will need to exit Sunland Park and Resler or stay on Resler to Mesa if that is your exit.
I-10 West at the Mesa exit ramp will remain closed until further notice, TxDOT said.
TxDOT said the main lanes will reopen on Sunday.
Additionally, this closure will set up crews to then rebuild the outside lanes, which is projected to take until the end of September, TxDOT said.
