| Purpose | The City of Socorro is proposing to construct Arterial 1 (1682 Boulevard) from Interstate Highway 10 (I-10) to Farm-to-Market Road (FM) 258 (Socorro Road) in the City of Socorro and El Paso County, Texas. This is a local government project, sponsored by the City of Socorro, and TxDOT is only providing oversight. |
| Description | The Arterial 1 project would construct a four-lane divided roadway between I-10 and FM 258, a total length of approximately 4 miles. Bicycle and pedestrian amenities would be included. Through the alternative analysis process and public outreach, the preferred build alternative for the proposed project has been identified as Alternative 3a Revised. This alternative will be carried forward into schematic design and detailed environmental studies. The No-build Alternative remains under consideration. The proposed project would require additional right-of-way (ROW) and potentially displace 12 residences and one non-residential (commercial) structure. This is subject to change based on environmental studies and schematic design considerations. If displacements occur, relocation assistance will be available for displaced persons and businesses. ROW acquisition would be conducted by the City of Socorro and will follow Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) procedures for ROW acquisition. |
| Accessibility | The in-person public meeting and virtual option will be provided in English and Spanish. If you need an interpreter or document translator because English and Spanish are not your primary language or you have difficulty communicating effectively, one will be provided to you. If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. If you need interpretation or translation services or are a person with a disability who requires accommodation to attend and participate in the inperson meeting or virtual option, please call (915) 201-0811 and leave a message, no later than 4 p.m. MDT, Monday, May 19, 2025.
