[edit] History
I-110 was officially designated as a route from I-10 to the Cordova International Bridge in 1967.[1] The interchange at US 62 was completed in 1970.[3] By 1972, the interchange at US 54 had been completed.[4] The overpass at SH 20 as well as the interchange at I-10 was completed in 1973.[5][6]
[edit] Route description
I-110 is a short spur route of I-10 in El Paso that connects I-10 with the Cordova International Bridge at the United States-Mexico border. The southern end of the freeway begins at the northern end of the bridge and heads north passing under US 62. After the interchange with US 62, I-110 curves towards the east briefly before curving back towards the north at an interchange with US 54. I-110 begins to run concurrently with US 54 as the freeway heads north to an interchange with I-10. I-110 ends at I-10 while the freeway continues to the north carrying the US 54 designation.[7]

The entire route is in El Paso, El Paso County.
