The I-10/Americas Interchange Stack will also be huge like the spahgetti bowl. Pictures from TXDOT look awesome. The The Patriot frwy/ Spur 601 interchange under construction is begining to look like another mini spahgetti bowl. El Paso freeways are in the right track!

In regards to observe's postings, He or she is totally wrong about El Paso, Ive been to abq many times, it is not larger nor does it have more amenties. People in abq have this thing going on- they want to act and look like a big city, which they're not. The abq metro area? consist of other counties and communites far from the city. El Paso? 260 square miles and an international metroplex with 3 million people. YES El Paso is LARGER and more urban.

TO OBERVE: STUPID? El Paso is larger (not that it matters) the El Paso Metro consist only of El Paso County, there are New Mexico communities that border the city limit and the county- Anthony Pop. 10,000- Chaparral-25,000, Sunland Park 20,000 they are not included in the El Paso Metro. which they should be. Estimates show that El Paso also has over 60,000 residents from Juarez that have duel residency and are not counted in the census. Goverment estimates that by 2012 El Paso will have a population of 950,000 due to Ft Bliss Expansion and the New Medical School. Abq metro is including 3 counties and small communites miles away. As far as the Big I- the spahgetti bowl is larger and more entertwined, only Dallas had a bigger stack at the time it was built. the Big I is more spread apart, doesn't mean its bigger. The I-10 Americas interchange will be even larger and nicer design than the dull Big I.

you are FUNNY! (maybe also weird) those are the estimates for EL PASO CITY COUNTY, That's it! again Abq includes all of central NM! almost all the state. Abq is a small trash can compared to El Paso. AnthonyNM, Sunland Prk,NM, Santa Teresa, NM, La Union, NM, Chamberino, NM Chaparral, NM, all next to the El Paso city and county limits- approx. population over 60,000 and not part of the El Paso metro, Abq included far away communites for its metro status to alocate federal goverment funds. kinda like welfare and goverment assistance. lol. get real! El Paso is Larger and more city and county populated

observe ; LOL you truly must be from abq! your behavior is like most dumb people in abq. How old are You? 15? Tall bdlgs, real cities?? etc. are you saying abq is a real city?? lol!! please!! for your info. been coast to coast- Favorite cities- San Antonio, TX, Austin, TX, Denver CO., San Francisco, CA, and Boston, MA. The only thing New Mexcio has going is the mountains that's it! OBSERVE all the facts of El Paso all over the internet. El Paso is El Paso- unlike abq that wants to be something its NOT! the airport is the only one in NM, remember there are 5 major cities in Texas which serve as hubs for el paso- I can go on and on to dispute your abq dumb opinions!

BY USMC: According to studies by the epwu the Greater El Paso Area which consists of El Paso & Dona Ana Counties will reach 1,052,000 inhabitants in the next two years. According to the article the Greater El Paso population was 927,000 in 2005 and will be adding about 25000 people per year over the next few years. Keep in mind that a lot of the growth will be fueled by the massive Ft Bliss expansion. The article also states that there will be between 2,000 to 2,500 high tech jobs created in part to the Future Combat Systems at Biggs.

New Mexico breaks ground in Anthony today to expand I-10 to 3 lanes from the stateline to Las Cruces. TXDOT will do the same from Anthony to Sunland Park. GREAT NEWS!

messages from OBSERVE-
How exciting!
Well on Monday NMDOT broke ground on expanding the Freeway to 3 lanes from Albuquerque to Bernalillo. This stretch has over 75,000 vehicles per day. Did you give up on providing links....or does the TRUTH hurt?
lol, observe seems to have a problem with El Paso's progress, always wants to say tiny abq has more than El Paso lol. observe fails to realize that abq is the largest city in abq, most all visitors to new mexico have to come tru abq- especially visitors to santa fe. because of that observe thinks that abq is busier and more city like. then wants LINKS to El Paso's progress etc. the estimated 750.000 population in El Paso is acutually all in the City, abq metro population goes on to distant communities and counties- If El Paso was to include surrounding NM dona ana county- over a million already. CALM DOWN OBSERVE EXCEPT THE TRUTH lol

the I-25/hwy 70 interchange in Las Cruces is kinda like the dull big I . The state of new mexico should spend more funds to create better roads and highways in NM. What El Paso has with freeways and highways 30 years ago, abq has recently seen some progress.
