LORDSBURG – Bridge deck repairs on Interstate 10 at mile marker 5 (Exit 5) in Road Forks will begin on Wednesday, April 22.

During construction, westbound I-10 traffic will not be able to cross over to access NM 80 southbound. Motorists traveling northbound on NM 80 will be able to turn right onto I-10 eastbound; left turns onto I-10 westbound will not be permitted.

Lane closures will be in place throughout the duration of the project. Work is scheduled Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and anticipated to be completed by May 2026, weather permitting.

Motorists are advised to reduce speeds and follow all posted signage when traveling through the work zone.
