I-10 CLOSURE April 15, 2018: Closure Required for Completion of Transmission Work

EL PASO, Texas — El Paso Electric (EPE) will be performing electrical work that will require an eastbound and westbound closure of I-10 between Loop 375 and Lee Trevino from 5 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 15, 2018.

Traffic control measures are expected to begin at approximately 3 a.m., with the full closure in place by 5 a.m. EPE crews will begin utility work immediately after the closure is secure.

Detour Information:

  • Westbound:  All traffic will be diverted to Loop 375 south; Commuters will be directed to Loop 375 south to North Loop to Lee Trevino
