Go10, TxDoT Closures for Week of September 18

Staff Report September 17, 2017 Local News 0 170

Go10 officials released the construction schedule for the upcoming week, with one, week-long change within the construction zone.

I-10 East between Mesa and Executive will be reduced to 2 lanes during the day all week. Officials with Go10 suggest that motorist “Consider implementing some of your commuting tools to help breakup the gridlock:” and offer the following suggestions:

Stagger your commute times to reduce the impact of rush hours.
Avoid driving during rush hours altogether if you can.
Carpool or take Sun Metro – even if just once a week – to reduce the number of vehicles on the road.
Know the alternate routes, like Transmountain Road (Loop 375), Mesa Street (SH 20), Paisano Drive (US 85), Doniphan Drive.
Before getting on the road, check news reports, I-10 traffic cams or a traffic app to find the best route.
Work remotely if you can.
If you get caught in a traffic jam, pull off the road and patronize a nearby business.

During the night, drivers will need to pay attention, as I-10 West at Sunland and I-10 East at Redd will close while crews continue building bridges.

TxDoT, GO10 Closures for Week of September 10th

Staff Report September 10, 2017 Local News 0 209

From 3 am Sunday morning to 6am Monday, I-10 Westbound at Executive Center was closed to allow Go10 crews to complete work on the westbound lanes; for almost 27 hours crews labored to finish the task.

By early Monday morning, motorists will find themselves driving on all-new I-10 westbound lanes between Executive Center and Sunland Park.

The old westbound lanes will remain closed for refurbishment.

GO10 officals say one of the most commonly asked question is will westbound drivers finally have access to shoulders between Executive and Sunland?

Answer: Not yet. You can expect to have more elbow room due to wider lanes, but full shoulders will not be available until the old lanes and the new lanes are both open.
