Traffic on the west side is bad because of two ongoing road construction projects. The Go 10 project will focus on expanding lanes on Interstate 10 on the west side of El Paso. Then, the Border West Expressway project will expand Paisano and Loop 375.

Well, starting on Monday January 11, 2016 the entrance ramp to Paisano on Racetrack drive will be closed until further notice. It's needed because crews will be constructing new retaining walls and bridges for the project.

All traffic in the area will need to use Sunland Park to access Paisano or I-10.

The Border West Expressway project will provide an alternate route for I-10 and will address needed improvements to safely guide the region’s growth and development. Construction for the project is expected to be completed by the fall of 2017.
