LORDSBURG – The I-10 eastbound and westbound lanes at Exit 24, near Lordsburg, NM, will be closed starting on April 3, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. through April 4, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. for partial bridge removal.
Both eastbound and westbound traffic on the I-10 will be rerouted off the highway and back on at the exit ramp during the demolition. Motorists should expect delays and are advised to follow posted road closure signs. If possible, avoid the area.
The westbound portion of the bridge needs to be removed following a collision on March 7, 2025, when a commercial motor vehicle carrying an excavator struck the bridge at Exit 24. Engineers immediately inspected the bridge, and it was determined this portion of the bridge needs to be removed.
