ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Officials expect it will take “up to 48 hours” to safely reopen westbound I-10 after a semi-truck crash in Arizona near the state line.

The Arizona Department of Transportation reported the crash Wednesday morning.

Officials closed westbound I-10 at mile marker 5 on the New Mexico side.

Traffic will be diverted to New Mexico Highway 80 there and reenter I-10 at Benson, Arizona.

If you’re traveling in this area, officials recommend going north on I-25 and catching I-40 to keep traveling west.
