Interstate 110 (I-110[a]) is a 0.92-mile (1.48 km)auxiliary Interstate Highway inEl Paso, Texas, extending fromI-10 south alongU.S. Highway 54 (US 54), then turning west, and finally turning south intoMexico. I-110 provides access from I-10 to theBridge of the Americas, which spans theRio Grande to connect with Avenida Abraham Lincoln inCiudad Juárez, Mexico. I-110 is currently the only auxiliary Interstate to connect directly with Mexico, and one of only two to connect to an international border, the other beingI-190 inNew York connecting toCanada.
The highway begins at its southern terminus, the beginning of theBridge of the Americas, which spans theRio Grande and connects toFederal Highway 45.[4] The route proceeds north, crossing over all six lanes ofLoop 375 (Cesar E. Chavez Border Highway) and divided Delta Drive. Immediately after passing over Delta Drive, the highway's truck lanes split off and pass through a specialized customs area. The roadway's mainlanes proceed northward through theEl Paso BOTA Port of Entry, where each vehicle is searched by theU.S. Border Patrol. The route continues north, traveling parallel toChamizal National Memorial, before splitting off and reaching an interchange withUS 62 (East Paisano Drive). The road bends eastward, traveling past several houses and businesses, before it reaches an incomplete interchange withUS 54 (Patriot Freeway).[5][6] From the interchange, I-110 proceeds north as a complex series of three-level entrance and exit ramps, unofficially referred to as the "Spaghetti Bowl".[7] The ramps merge into US 54, and the roadway continues concurrently with it, passing over Lincoln Park before reaching its northern terminus, an interchange withI-10. US 54 continues northward from the interchange.[6][8]
TheTexas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) lists I-110's official length as being 0.891 miles (1.434 km),[2] while theFederal Highway Administration (FHWA) lists it as being 0.92 miles (1.48 km).[1] I-110 is the shortest Interstate in Texas.[9] The Interstate is almost entirely unsigned; the only signage showing its existence is on two overhead signs just beyond the El Paso BOTA Port of Entry going northbound.[10]
I-110 was officially designated as a route from I-10 to the Bridge of the Americas in 1967.[2] The interchange at US 62 was completed in 1970.[11] By 1972, the interchange at US 54 had been completed.[12] The overpass atState Highway 20 (SH 20) and the interchange at I-10 were completed in 1973.[13][14]
The entire route is inEl Paso,El Paso County.
