This $174.3M dollar project which is schedule to take three-and-a-half years to complete.

Located between the El Paso city limits and the Texas-New Mexico State Line, I-10 Widening West seeks to improve traffic flow by widening the freeway from two lanes to three in each direction. The project also includes relocating several onramps and offramps to better accommodate the region’s growing traffic needs.
