As utility work associated with the El Paso Streetcar Project continues, the full closure of Stanton Street in Downtown El Paso will move one block north next week.
Stanton Street will re-open to traffic between Franklin Avenue and Missouri Avenue on Monday, August 1, 2016. At this time, Stanton will close to traffic between Missouri Avenue and Wyoming Avenue.
Also at that time, lane restrictions along Missouri Avenue will be modified. Missouri Avenue will remain reduced to a single westbound lane but traffic will shift from the north side of the street to the south side of the street at Stanton. Motorists who typically use Exit 19B to access Downtown El Paso from westbound I-10 are encouraged to consider alternate routes such as Exit 19A/Mesa Street or Exit 20/Cotton Street.
Closures take place Monday thru Friday from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m.During day time hours, Santa Fe Street will re-open to traffic but lane restrictions will remain in place.
Lane restrictions will continue for approximately nine more weeks along Santa Fe Street between Franklin Avenue and Paisano Drive. Crews have begun removing asphalt and dirt to make way for the 12-inch thick concrete slab in which rail will soon be placed. Beginning on Tuesday, August 2, 2016 San Antonio Street will be closed immediately east of Santa Fe for approximately one week.
