A debris spill from a semitruck has been cleared after closing the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 in West El Paso.
The spill occurred about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 13, on the eastbound lanes of I-10 near Sunland Park Drive, according to the Texas Department of Transportation online traffic map.
All eastbound traffic was diverted off of I-10 just before Sunland Park Drive because of the debris spill on the freeway, the El Paso Police Department said in a news media message.
Drivers were advised to take alternate routes to avoid delays.
TxDOT crews equipped with a loader and dump trucks cleared the scene and by 11 a.m. the freeway was reopened.
