Public Meeting – NM 136 Interchange Feasibility Study, CN E100430

NMDOT is studying NM 136, a major arterial, connecting the Santa Teresa Port of Entry and access to Interstate 10 in El Paso via the Artcraft Road interchange. An in-person public meeting was hosted to introduce the study, present an overview of existing conditions, and provide an opportunity to ask the study team questions and receive feedback.

NM 136 is the only roadway to serve Doña Ana County Airport, the Union Pacific Railroad Strauss Yard, the surrounding industrial parks, and local residential developments. NM 136 provides direct access to an area of the state with great potential for economic development and growth opportunities. This Interchange Feasibility Study aims to evaluate and prioritize potential new interchanges (overpasses or underpasses) along NM 136 to accommodate the ever-increasing traffic and freight volume within the area. This study will assess the approved interchange locations to establish prioritization for implementation as well as the appropriate interchange configuration for each location.
