=== New Mexico === {{main|Interstate 10 in New Mexico}} In New Mexico, I-10 more or less follows the former path of [[U.S. Route 80|US Route 80]] (US 80) across the state, although major portions of old US 80 were bypassed in the western [[New Mexico Bootheel]] and in [[Doña Ana County, New Mexico|Doña Ana County]]. I-10 passes through three southern New Mexico municipalities of regional significance before the junction with [[Interstate 25|I-25]]: [[Lordsburg, New Mexico|Lordsburg]], [[Deming, New Mexico|Deming]], and [[Las Cruces, New Mexico|Las Cruces]]. Most of I-10 in New Mexico, between exit 24 and exit 135, is concurrent with [[U.S. Route 70|US 70]]. At Lordsburg is the western junction of US 70 and a [[concurrency (road)|concurrency]]; the two highways are joined all the way to Las Cruces. Several exits between Lordsburg and Deming are either for former towns (including [[Separ, New Mexico|Separ]], [[Quincy, New Mexico|Quincy]], and [[Gage, New Mexico|Gage]]) or lack any town at all. At Deming is the western junction of [[U.S. Route 180|US 180]], which also forms a concurrency with I-10 all the way to El Paso. {{convert|1|mi|km|spell=In}} north of Deming on US 180 is [[New Mexico State Road 26|State Road 26]] (NM 26) which serves as a short cut to north I-25 and [[Albuquerque, New Mexico|Albuquerque]]. I-10/US 70/US 180 continue east to Las Cruces which is the southern end of I-25. US 70 leaves I-10 (prior to the junction with I-25), heading northeast to [[Alamogordo, New Mexico|Alamogordo]] and passing through the north side of Las Cruces. The junction with I-25 occurs just south of the [[New Mexico State University]] campus, on the southern end of Las Cruces. I-10/US 180 becomes concurrent with [[U.S. Route 85|US 85]] at the junction with I-25. I-10/US 85/US 180 then turns south to the Texas state line, crossing it at [[Anthony, New Mexico|Anthony]].
