El Paso Road Closures: Plan Ahead

0:00It's May 2nd. This is El Paso News today, driven by AI. Texas Department of Transportation dropped their road closure list for El Paso this week, starting May 1st, 2026. Expect night work from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on dire north and southbound near the state line, plus daytime mobile ops on Trans Mountain and Donovan, for repainting lane lines district wide. Under the R-Craft project, full closures hit south desert between Trans Mountain and R-Craft Monday through Thursday nights, 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. with local campus park access open. Wednesday night, I-10 eastbound shuts fully there too, as crews set girders for a new connector. These closures mess with commutes hard, especially on border highway, where Loop 375 sees alternate lane drops nightly between Fonseca and Park for guardrail fixes. Y-10 westbound at airway loses three right lanes in a ramp early week, and U.S. 54 south

1:00picks up similar hits midweek. Daytime brings more tweaks. Guardrail work closes, right lanes on Y-10 westbound Monday, Trans Mountain left lane Tuesday, and various shoulders through Friday. Concrete repairs narrow gateway north, while maintenance shuts a ramp linking Loop 375 east to U.S. 54 north. Back upgrades near bridge of the Americas, closed shoulders on border highway, and I-10 eastbound, with cover cleaning on Loop 375. East, one more heads up, full closure at Sakura Road, and Belenstree Intersection on Thursday, May 14th, for sidewalk installs. Plan your route and drive safe out there.
