Here’s a look at project closures for the week ahead, including TWO (2) 27-Hour Closures of I-10.
Also after a week of closures primarily focused on the northbound lanes of US 54, crews will turn their attention to the southbound lanes of US 54 next week as they continue placing temporary concrete barrier to outline the work zone for the I-10 Connect project.
The 30-foot, 42-inch barriers will create an added layer of separation — and safety — between motorists, construction crews and heavy machinery.
The following closures and detours will be in place to accommodate this work:
Sunday, May 19, and Monday, May 20
Nightly 9pm to 5am
- Mainlanes of southbound US 54 will be closed to all traffic between the Pershing Drive underpass and Interstate 10.

- DETOURS: All southbound traffic on US 54 will take Exit 21B (I-10 West/Las Cruces). All traffic bound from US 54 to I-10 will enter westbound I-10 and continue west or take Exit 20 (Cotton Street), turn left on Cotton, and left on eastbound I-10. To continue on southbound US 54, traffic will take Exit 21C (Montana Avenue), continue on Gateway Boulevard South, and re-enter southbound US 54 south of Yandell Drive.
