Loop 375 wraps almost completely around the city. The only part of the city it doesn’t run through is in west El Paso near Sunland Park.

The Loop 375 Border Highway Extension project is going to fix that, but it means a lot of construction, and a lot of headaches for drivers.

Work to complete the loop at U.S. 54 and Racetrack Drive near Doniphan has begun. When it's completed, the area will have a new four-lane controlled access toll facility that will connect Loop 375 to U.S. 54, with access points at Doniphan, Executive Center, Spur 1966, and Coles street.

If you are driving on Paisano West, you need to be prepared for a lot of congestion because it is down to one lane between Executive and Sunland Park.

If you want to get off Paisano West by way of McNutt or Racetrack, you can't. You can't get on Paisano East via these roads, either. If you are traveling that way, your best bet is to use Mesa and the exits that get you past the construction mess at Schuster and Sunland Park.
