Drivers should expect traffic changes near Viscount and Airway
EL PASO – Beginning January 2, construction will begin on the fourth milestone of the Pipeline Protection Project near the intersection of Viscount and Airway Boulevards. Drivers and residents should expect temporary lane closures, detours and changing traffic patterns in the area for at least three months.
Two water mains under the westbound lanes of Viscount west of Bellrose Drive will be replaced. Westbound Viscount will be closed from Bellrose to Airway.
To help minimize the likelihood of water main breaks, El Paso Water is proactively replacing metal water mains which cross major gas pipelines at five locations in East El Paso. The replacement is necessary because gas pipelines use corrosion protection systems which run an electrical current through the gas pipeline.
