Here’s a look at the region’s project closures for the week ahead. These include the last 27-hour closure for our GO10 Project THIS weekend.

I-10 will be in its final design and open to traffic by July 1st.  Probably the biggest benefit will be seen on I-10 West on approach to the Sunland Park/Resler exit ramp (exit 13). Drivers will find three exit lanes will be available to them, instead of just one.

Additionally, we have no closures scheduled for July 1-7; however by Monday, July 8, it is back to work. For a couple of months, GO 10 crews will be finishing final checklist items, like cable barrier, drainage, rock walls, clean up, etc.

Checklist items may require road closures to keep everyone safe; but, the closures should be less disruptive.

Nightly closures of Ramp F that connects westbound I-10 to Cd. Juarez will continue for several weeks. Crews on the I-10 Connect Project are making progress on two bridges over US 62 (Paisano Drive), those closures will continue as well.

Detour: Motorists on I-10 West will exit at Executive Center Blvd, follow Executive Center Blvd to North Mesa Street (SH 20), then follow North Mesa Street (SH 20) to the North Mesa entrance ramp to re-enter I-10 West. ·   The Sunland Park entrance ramp to the main lanes of I-10 West will close. ·   The Schuster/UTEP entrance ramp to I-10 West will close. ·   Eastbound Paisano Drive (US 85) – in front of the auto dealerships – will close at Sunland Park Drive. ·   The west to east turnaround bridge at the Sunland Park overpass will close. ·   The Sunland Park flyover ramp will close. ·   Crockett Street access to Paisano Drive (US 85) will close.   Crews will be removing temporary barrier walls, installing permanent guardrail, finishing pavement striping, cleaning up, and more.   MAJOR MILESTONE:  Once this closure lifts by Monday morning, July 1st, all roads inside the GO 10 project limits will be in their final design and open to traffic.

GO 10 has two more Sunday’s of 27-hour closures to go, including this Sunday, June 23.

Crosstown motorists are encouraged to use Loop 375 (Transmountain Road) this weekend as multiple 27-hour closures are planned on Interstate 10 in West and Central El Paso.

Go10 officials said, via an email release, “Thank you for your patience as crews push hard to finish roadwork by June 30th.”

After June 30th, crews will continue to work off the road for a couple of months to finish punch list items.

I-10 will be closed to eastbound and westbound traffic at US 54 from 3am on Sunday, June 23, until 6am on Monday, June 24, for the I-10 Connect Project. While thru traffic is encouraged to use alternate routes, the following marked detours will be in place for local traffic which must travel in the area during this 27-hour closure:

• Eastbound I-10: All traffic will take Exit 22B (US 54/Alamogordo/Fort Bliss/Juárez) and travel north on US 54, take Exit 23 (Cassidy Road), take Exit 22B (Pershing Drive), use the newly-widened turnaround at Pershing Drive, re-enter southbound US 54 and follow signs to their destination.
• Westbound I-10: All traffic will take Exit 22B (US 54/Alamogordo/Juárez/Fort Bliss) and travel north on US 54.

The simultaneous eastbound and westbound closures are necessary so crews have room to safely lift a steel cage and place it into a shaft which has been drilled in the median of I-10. Next, they’ll fill the shaft with concrete to support a column for a new direct connector ramp from southbound US 54 to Juárez.

 

A 27-hour closure of westbound I-10 is also scheduled from 3am on Sunday, June 23, until 6am on Monday, June 24, for the Go 10 Project on the Westside. Westbound I-10 will be closed at Schuster Avenue for that project.

Go10 officials say that June 30^th is the target date for being finished with all roadway work. After June, expect work to continue off the roadways for another two months or so.

Off-the-roadway work will be for miscellaneous items, such as, finishing a rock wall in the Sunland Park area, flood control work, clean up, and other punch list items.  GO 10 is a $158 million, four-year project that started in 2015 and is finishing on-time and on-budget.

A few miles east, work continues on the I-10 Connect Project.  When the I-10 Connect Project is complete, southbound traffic on US 54 will have access to a new direct connector ramp soaring over Interstate 10 leading directly to the Bridge of the Americas and Juárez.

But constructing that ramp requires work above one on-ramp and in the median of I-10 near the Spaghetti Bowl. To safely accommodate that work, requiring the following closures will be in place in the coming weeks.

Plenty of work, and just a few detours around the Borderland as construction continues on a couple of projects, and a new project gets underway.

As work progresses on the landmark I-10 Connect project which will provide improved connectivity between I-10 and Loop 375 in the heart of El Paso, more overnight closures are planned next week including a complete one-night closure of Interstate 110 leading away from the Bridge of the Americas and the first long-term closure of the project.

The closures are necessary as crews continue placing temporary concrete barrier to outline the work zone for the I-10 Connect project in South Central El Paso.

The 30-foot, 42-inch barriers will create an added layer of separation — and safety — between motorists, construction crews and heavy machinery.

The following overnight closures and detours will be in place to accommodate this work:

This past Wednesday, my wife and I were driving on I-10 East. I was speeding, doing about 70 – okay, I know, it’s not safe, we were in a hurry. Coming up behind us, weaving in and out of traffic, was a blue motorcycle.

To use a cliché, this guy passed us like we were standing still. He was going as fast as he could and picking up speed along the way.

It was just before the five o’clock rush hour was to begin. More and more people were beginning to leave work and head home. We’ve all seen how the freeway becomes, almost bumper-to-bumper traffic in some spots.

That’s what was happening as we were approaching the Yarbrough exit.

Then, almost at the same time two things happen: this guy shoots past us and I tell Chantilly (my wife) to look at that guy. A split second later, it happens: he wrecks his motorcycle.

The driver of the car the motorcyclist pulled behind, hits the breaks to avoid the car in front of him who’s nearly stopped. On the freeway.

The guy on the motorcycle goes right into the back of the car, ejecting him from his bike; he bounces off  the back window as his motorcycle shoots from the right side of the freeway all the way over to the left shoulder.

The man riding the bike jumps up, out of the way of traffic, and the first thing he was worried about was not himself, or the car he ran into, but his bike.

He was in shock, bleeding from his elbow, his backpack was almost ripped to shreds – the latter keeping him safe from a bad case of road burn – and all he could think about was his bike.

While motorcycle crashes make up a small percentage of all accidents, they are becoming more and more commonplace.

Last year, in Texas, 483 riders lost their lives because of a crash. These accidents were caused by everything from the rider speeding, drivers of larger vehicles not paying attention, to alcohol being a factor.

According to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), that number represents 13% of all lives lost in traffic accidents.
Nationwide that total is 5,286 riders losing their lives.

This past Wednesday, on I-10 East, this one rider did not become a fatality statistic. He did, however, grind the left side of his bike and damage his gas tank.

Being a soldier, well, he’s in for a dressing down at the very least. If he didn’t have his motorcycle safety card, well…

For those of you who ride a motorcycle, you are not invincible. No matter what we think, and I used to ride, we are less likely to survive a collision with a car or truck at high rates of speed.

For those of you who don’t ride, remember, always keep an eye out for riders.

For everyone else, including me: DON’T SPEED!

Crews on the Go10/TxDoT project are gearing up for busy June. For up-to-the-minute information, you can follow TxDoT on Twitter: Twitter or sign up for email alerts. For GO10 alerts, simply sign up online.

I-10 West at Sunland

Crews are planning to close I-10 West at Sunland Park (Exit 13) for 27 hours on a Sunday later this month. We haven’t nailed down a firm date yet, but it’s looking like June 17 (Father’s Day) or June 24.  Pay attention because this closure will result in changes to traffic lane patterns along I-10 West between Resler Drive and North Mesa Street.  We’ll provide you with an illustration of these coming changes next week.

Resler Exit

GO 10 engineers are talking about closing the Resler Drive westbound exit ramp; but, details are still developing. We don’t know when it will close (maybe the end of June) and we don’t know how long it will stay closed (it could be weeks).  The closure is necessary so crews can build the NEW Resler exit ramp. Despite the lack of details, we hope you appreciate this frigid closure forecast.

North Mesa Street

Brace yourselves. Sometime in the next couple of months, we will be closing half the lanes of North Mesa Street in both directions between Osborne Drive and Remcon Circle. This is the juggling act we’ve been telling you about since April; but, in case you haven’t heard, GO 10 needs to upgrade the pavement on North Mesa Street and connect new ramps and lanes. For motorists, it will mean varying lane closures, shifting traffic lane patterns, and changing detours (aka traffic juggling) for the rest of 2018.  See attached flyer.

Traffic therapy

Remember, we are in the home stretch for this project. In fact, we are aiming to be mostly out of your way by the end of this year. (GO 10’s official end date is April 2019.) But baby steps – here what’s scheduled for next week:

A growing number of local merchants are making it more rewarding to help reduce congestion during the daily commute by using Metropia’s mobile app.

Eloise, a European-style coffee shop and restaurant located at 255 Shadow Mountain Drive in West El Paso, is Metropia’s latest merchant partner in El Paso.

“Metropia is committed to finding innovative solutions to El Paso’s growing traffic troubles while improving the quality of life for El Pasoans,” said Tania Chozet, Metropia’s El Paso Community Manager. “Partnering with businesses like Eloise, Savage Goods and Proper Printshop allows us to showcase some of the entrepreneurs who are investing in our community while making it even more rewarding for commuters to avoid congestion.”

The list of businesses also includes Proper Printshop, a locally owned screen printing studio, and Savage Goods, a local purveyor of home baked goods.

By using the Metropia app to navigate around congestion and choose less congested travel times, commuters earn points which can be redeemed with those participating businesses.

As one of Metropia’s newest partners, the live video will focus on raising awareness of the new collaboration; showcase one of Eloise’s Meatless Monday offerings, and giving a behind-the-scenes look at cafe operations. You can watch the live broadcast and submit questions by liking Metropia El Paso on Facebook.

Metropia’s team of traffic engineers and regional experts monitor the latest traffic conditions and construction closures from their new offices at the Hub of Human Innovation in Downtown El Paso. Metropia collaborates with area transportation experts, regional planning agencies and community stakeholders to create meaningful change by serving as the only single-source platform to share data with our entire community.

Metropia officially launched in El Paso in October, following a nine month testing phase.  To date, thousands of El Paso’s commuters have saved nearly 2,000 hours of driving time and planted nearly 9,000 trees.

Metropia will be live on Facebook in the Eloise kitchen at 10am MST on Monday, April 10, 2017. Eloise is known for their high-quality, responsibly sourced coffee, gourmet fare, and vegan-friendly offerings.

The free Metropia app is available for download in the Apple Store and via Google Play.

According to company officials, the number of El Pasoans using Metropia’s app to carpool and earn increased reward points has jumped by 75 percent this month.

That means, not only are more El Pasoans earning rewards, but fewer automobiles are on our roads and freeways.

Every Friday in January, commuters who use the Metropia app’s DUO social carpooling function will earn double points. Those points can be redeemed for rewards like gift cards to Metropia’s merchant partners, including a growing list of local merchants like Proper Printshop and Savage Goods. It’s called “Free FlowFridays.”

“While studies show that only about one in ten American commuters carpool to work, more and more El Pasoans are clearly demonstrating that they understand the value of carpooling as a way to save time, reduce congestion and improve their quality of life,” said Tania Chozet, Metropia’s El Paso Community Manager. “If you haven’t done so already, there are still two more Fridays in January to take advantage of the increased rewards as part of the ‘Free Flow Fridays’.”

Here’s how DUO works: Drivers simply use Metropia as they always would — plan a trip, drive, and get rewarded. Passengers on that trip just open the Metropia app, tap the DUO button, and follow the instructions.

Upon reaching their destination, passengers will get points, and drivers can spin the virtual Prize Wheel to determine how many points they’ve earned for helping reduce congestion. On January 20 and 27, 2017, those points will be doubled.

Visit metropia.com/duo for more information on DUO and to see the prize wheel in action.

Following a six-month testing period, Metropia’s free mobile app became available for all motorists in the Paso del Norte region in October. The app provides greater rewards to motorists for traveling at off-peak times and on less-congested routes.

More than 500 people in the El Paso region are already helping Drive a Better El Paso by joining Metropia’s Pioneer Program.

El Paso area drivers have logged 21,130 miles using Metropia since the next-generation transportation app was launched less than a month ago. Drivers have saved a total of 60 hours which would have otherwise been wasted in traffic. By travelling on the less congested routes suggested by Metropia, drivers have also kept 2,149 pounds of CO₂from being released into our atmosphere.

“Drivers in the El Paso region should be proud of the positive impacts they’re already having by using Metropia,” said Yi-Chang Chiu, Ph.D., founder of Metropia. “By participating in the Pioneer Program they’re also helping improve the app’s functionality meaning the travel time prediction and routing will be enhanced as more people use it.”

Points earned by Metropia drivers in El Paso have been redeemed to plant 22 trees as part of a partnership with American Forests. Trees and other plants remove CO₂ from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. So, using Metropia doesn’t just keep CO₂ from going into the atmosphere, it actually helps our planet scrub the CO₂  out of the air.

Unlike other travel transportation apps, Metropia suggests the best routes and the best times to leave so you can avoid congestion. But Metropia goes further — connecting to our community in a way that no other transportation app can by offering real world incentives to travel at the optimal times using the best routes.

But Metropia won’t just help drivers who download the app. Because of this innovative partnership, crowd-sourced data collected by drivers will assist with the El Paso MPO and TxDOT traffic models. Those models will help TxDOT, the CRRMA and the MPO make the best decisions possible about our transportation infrastructure.  Using Metropia, even when you know where you’re going, contributes valuable information to transportation planners and app developers — meaning your helping your fellow drivers travel more efficiently, too.

Interested drivers can still sign up for the program so by visiting Metropia.com/ElPaso or by downloading the smart phone app from the iTunes App Store or Google Play.

Metropia’s launch in El Paso is a joint project of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), the Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority (CRRMA) and the El Paso Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). But Metropia won’t just help drivers who download the app.
