El Paso residents, brace yourselves! A severe weather event has led to a stunning shutdown of major highways connecting your city to New Mexico. This isn't just a minor inconvenience; it's a significant disruption to the flow of traffic and travel plans.
The situation is as follows: U.S. Highway 62/180, a vital artery between El Paso and New Mexico, is completely closed.

But that's not all—FM-1111 and SH-54 are also closed up to the state line, further limiting travel options.
And here's the part that affects everyone: Authorities are strongly advising motorists to steer clear of these routes and seek alternatives. With the weather showing no signs of improvement, this could be a prolonged issue.
