Border West Expressway

Close

The Border West Expressway project is located west of downtown El Paso, south of I-10 and extends approximately 7.4 miles from Racetrack Drive near Doniphan Road and New Mexico 273 East to US 54 east of downtown El Paso. The project consists of: Construction of a four-lane toll road on elevated structure from Racetrack Drive to the end of the existing Loop 375 near Santa Fe Street (approximately 5.6 miles) Reconstruction of existing Loop 375 lanes from Santa Fe Street to Park Street on elevated structure providing access to local traffic and remaining non-tolled (approximately 1.8 miles) Addition of multi-ramp interchanges connecting Executive Center Boulevard and Spur 1966 Construction of a multi-ramp interchange connecting Loop 375 with Paisano Drive (US 85) and Delta Street, providing eastbound and westbound access to the city's center The project will close the Loop 375 gap that currently exists along the border in the downtown El Paso area and create an alternate route to I-10, improving system reliability and regional mobility. Currently only I-10 provides continuous high-speed, east-west connectivity through El Paso. The existing Loop 375 and US 85 (Paisano Drive) have numerous signalized intersections and heavy pedestrian activity. The project's design-build contract includes a comprehensive maintenance agreement with three 5-year terms, the first of which is mandatory. The project's developer must perform routine, preventative, and lifecycle maintenance of all assets, as well as incident management.
