How to Avoid the Chaos
It’s clear that El Paso’s roads are under heavy construction for the next couple of weeks, and with these ongoing road closures, traffic will likely get worse. To avoid getting stuck in traffic or detours, make sure to plan your route ahead of time.
If you don’t want to deal with the headache of sitting in traffic, consider alternative routes and give yourself extra time to get where you need to go. And remember, if you’re tired of construction, you’re not alone—it’s something we’ll all have to deal with for a while longer.
