The City of El Paso will begin the reconstruction of Robinson Avenue the week of August 8th, 2016.

This new project involves the full reconstruction of Robinson Avenue between Piedmont Drive and Rim Road in concrete, and will include new upgrades to existing drainage. A new hike and bike trails will also be constructed; including landscaping, irrigation, illumination, ADA compliant sidewalks and curbs will be added to area.

To minimize the inconvenience to residents and traffic, the closures of the area will occur in the following four phases with the first phase starting the week of August 8, 2016:

PHASE 1 - Full roadway closure of Robinson Avenue from Piedmont Drive to Sierra Crest Drive

PHASE 2 - Full roadway closure of Robinson Avenue from Sierra Crest Drive to center to Canyon Terrace Drive

PHASE 3 - Full roadway closure of Robinson Avenue from Canyon Terrace Drive to Kingery Drive

PHASE 4 - Full roadway closure of Robinson Avenue from Kingery Drive to Rim Road/Scenic Drive

Proper traffic control measures will be in place throughout the duration of the project, and access for residents and property owners will be maintained at all times. The project is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2017, and the work schedule and closures may be modified to accommodate any unforeseen weather conditions or events.
