El Paso Water and the El Paso Police Department are warning drivers about lane closures in West El Paso that may disrupt commutes. The closures are a precaution while crews address a potential safety risk to the roadway.
The agencies say the lane closures are temporary but could cause delays during peak travel times. Drivers should expect slower traffic and possible detours through the affected area.
Crews are on scene to evaluate and repair the problem. Police officers are assisting with traffic control and directing drivers away from closed lanes. Motorists should follow posted signs and officer instructions.
Residents are advised to avoid the area if possible. Keep a safe distance from work zones and do not enter barricaded sections of the road. Doing so helps crews work faster and keeps everyone safer.
Officials encourage commuters to plan alternate routes and allow extra time for travel. They also advise checking official El Paso Water and police channels for the latest updates on closures and reopenings.
Authorities say they will update the public as repairs progress and conditions change. The goal is to restore normal traffic flow as quickly and safely as possible.
