A $3.1 million pavement improvement project is underway along Interstate 10 in Luna County, covering approximately 31 miles between Deming East Exit 85 and the NM Highway 549 interchange at Exit 116. The New Mexico Department of Transportation says the project aims to improve roadway conditions and extend the life of this heavily traveled interstate corridor. Milling and paving operations are expected to begin around November 16, followed by a fog seal treatment and replacement of pavement markings, weather permitting. The final phase will be completed by N.M. DOT maintenance crews when weather conditions and temperatures allow. Work is expected to continue into early 2027.
