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.
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.
