Avoid eastbound I-10 in El Paso...
Came through El Paso last Sunday bound for San Antonio from Tucson....Arrrrrg!
They have completely shut down both eastbound lanes about 10 miles north of downtown. Both lanes are forced to merge right and then exit the interstate and take a convoluted city street detour. It took an hour and half to go 6 miles and this was mid day on a Sunday. I cannot imagine how bad it is during the week.
The construction going on looks to be far from complete so this nightmare will be with us for quite a while. Virtually zero police or department of transportation folks to be found on scene and the insanity got progressively worse the longer we waited.
We will be heading home on Friday but the westbound side of I-10 did not seem to be affected.
