El Paso has become the orange barrel capital of Texas and TXDoT isn't letting up anytime soon. The next 2 weeks will see more road closures.

I'm seriously going to see if I can have either the definition of El Paso changed from "The Pass" to "Under Construction" or our entire city named changed to Los Barriles de Naranja.

Here are some projects guaranteed to annoy you somehow over the next couple of weeks ...

Whether it's because it delays you, you hate sitting in a hot car or you're sick and tired of your residential street becoming a freeway ... that's me! ... due to detours; road closures especially irritate everybody. Be aware of these and plan around them:

Monday, June 2 through Saturday, June 7 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (as needed)

Expect alternating lane closures along North and South Desert between Anthony and Redd Rd. Ditto for Redd Road, east and west, at the Redd/Desert intersection and along I-10 east and west between Redd and Resler.
