Directions from American Dam to Project Site

One way trip approximately 28 miles.

Because the westbound on ramp to I-10 is closed, take Paisano Drive to the new I-10 distributor lanes.

There are three access points from the frontage road to Paisano Drive. Take any of them and head north on Paisano staying the left lane.

Continue on Paisano until it merges with I-10. You will want to be in the left lane as Paisano travels over I-10 in order to enter the freeway. The on ramp is on the left.

191BWC19B0002 Page 2

Once on north Paisano, stay in the left lane. Even when you see signs about a toll road, stay in the left lane. There is no toll where you will be driving.

Once over the flyover, marge to the left again and enter I-10 just before the Mesa Exit.

Travel west (actually driving north) on I-10 for approximately 21 miles.

Take Exit 155 - Vado, NM.

There are two traffic circles on this exit. Continue around the first circle and then cross I-10, heading west. Continue around the next traffic circle, taking Vado Drive (NM 227) also heading west. At this point you should be heading down the hill past the Texaco gas station.

191BWC19B0002 Page 3

Continue on Vado Drive until it T's (stop sign) with NM 478. It's about 1.75 miles. The stop sign will be just past a Family Dollar store.

At this stop sign, turn left (south).

Travel south just a ¼ mile (see blue line below). Turn right (west) on NM 189. There is a warehouse for Crop Production Services (CPS) as well as several large, cylindrical, metal storage tanks on either side of NM 189.

Go straight on NM 189 (yellow line above) across the railroad tracks. The turn for the levee is less than a ¼ mile from NM 478.

Turn left (south) onto the levee (red line above) before the bridge over the Rio Grande.

The project is on the westside of the river, but the tour will begin on eastside so that the full extent of the bank erosion can be viewed.
