TxDOT El Paso: 48-Hour Full Closure Notice
Nichole Gomez
El Paso, TX (KVIA-TV)- If you travel on I-10 between Vinton and the New Mexico state line, please be aware of upcoming changes. According to TxDOT El Paso, a 48-hour eastbound closure is scheduled this weekend, beginning at 3 a.m. Saturday and ending at 3 a.m. Monday. I-10 eastbound between Anthony, NM, and Los Mochis will be closed during this period.
TxDOT El Paso officials say crews will use this time to shift traffic to the new inside lanes from Anthony to Vinton, marking the first major change in the second phase of the I-10 widening project. This shift is necessary to allow demolition and reconstruction of the outside lanes. The eastbound switch will result in multiple ramp closures, including Exit 1 for Anthony, Exit 2 for Vinton, and the corresponding eastbound on-ramps. Drivers may use Exit 0 eastbound and re-enter I-10 at Los Mochis.
According to TxDOT, a full westbound closure is planned for May 16 through May 18. Afterward, the westbound Vinton on-ramp and Exit 0 will close. Once these changes are implemented in both directions, ramp closures will remain in effect for one year. Please plan accordingly.
