Route 375 around El Paso?

Hello, if you are going East then I suggest that you do take something other than I-10 through town. There are two choices - either Loop 375 which will take you over the mountains and around to the East side of town or you could exit and take NM 404 then connect with Hwy 54 Southbound to Loop 375.

Either of these would have less traffic congestion than I-10.

Loop 375 from I-10 is over the mountains and has some long grades on both sides.

NM 404 route is flatter with only a short portion with any significant grade but it is only a two lane road until you connect with Hwy 54.

Where are you thinking of trying to get to for the evening?

I know they've been doing a lot of construction since 2012, but I didn't think it was done yet.

I might be mistaken, but the 375 loop does not connect on both ends of I-10 as I remember. You'd have to cut across the Woodrow Bean Transmountain drive between I-10 and the 375. In the late afternoon, isn't most of the traffic flowing from downtown to the West on I-10?

On Google Maps 375 definitely hits I-10 on both ends. I posted this same question on irv2 and got a local responding there...
