I-10 project to total $3.1M

Work completion expected in 2027 Motorists traveling Interstate 10 east of Deming are encountering construction activity as the New Mexico Department of Transportation moves forward with a multimillion-dollar pavement preservation project spanning approximately 31 miles of roadway in Luna County. The project represents an investment of approximately $3.1 million and extends from Exit 85, known as Deming East, to Exit 116 at N.M. 549. According to information released by the N.M. DOT, the work is divided into multiple phases, including crack sealing, milling, paving and additional pavement treatments. The first phase began Oct. 26, with Dismuke Construction Co. undertaking a $1.2 million crack-sealing operation. Crews are working east from Exit 85 toward Exit 116. During this phase, motorists can expect lane closures in both eastbound and westbound directions as needed, along with reduced speed limits throughout construction areas. Work is scheduled seven days a week from 7 a.m.
