Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Friday, April 11, 2025. Here’s what’s happening in our city today.
We start with breaking news: Upper Valley residents are dealing with disruptions after a water main break early this morning on Sunset Road caused a large sinkhole, even stranding an El Paso Water truck. Crews are on-site working to restore service, but expect traffic delays as repairs continue throughout the day. Use alternative routes around the area if possible.
In health updates, El Paso has confirmed its first measles cases of the year, with one case in the city and another just across the border in Juárez. Health officials urge residents to check their vaccination status, especially with the disease’s high transmissibility. Vaccination clinics will be offering extended hours this weekend to ensure our community is protected.
On campus, UTEP officially opened its $80 million Advanced Manufacturing and Aerospace Center yesterday. The state-of-the-art facility includes cutting-edge 3D printing technology and research labs that could strengthen El Paso’s presence in the aerospace and advanced manufacturing industries. This is a major step forward for our local economy and workforce development, with partnerships already established with NASA and defense agencies.
The city of El Paso is inviting residents to participate in upcoming budget meetings starting April 15. These meetings are a chance to weigh in on what matters most, from community programs to infrastructure projects. The first session will be held at the Westside Regional Command Center on Osborne Drive at 5:30 p.m. Your voice matters in shaping how our city grows.
Let’s talk about traffic. Construction remains a hot topic, with significant lane closures on I-10 this weekend as part of the widening project. Expect detours near the Mesa exit and on North Desert Boulevard as crews work on barriers and paving. Plan your commutes carefully, especially with closures continuing into next week.
In community events, the Hueco Tanks Interpretive Fair returns tomorrow, showcasing local history, rock art tours, and outdoor fun. For music lovers, the Plaza Theatre hosts a mariachi showcase tonight at 7 p.m., celebrating traditional Mexican music.
On a somber note, ICE has confirmed modifications to its detention facilities in El Paso, with new tents and increased security. This follows heightened deportation efforts, which continue to spark debates on both humanitarian and local economic impacts.
And as we look at sports, El Paso Locomotive FC kicks off its home season tomorrow at Southwest University Park against Sacramento Republic. After a strong preseason, fans are optimistic for a playoff push this year.
The weather is shaping up with cooler-than-average temperatures today, peaking at 65 degrees. High winds in the afternoon may impact outdoor activities, so secure loose items and drive safely. Expect a warming trend this weekend, perfect for community events and outdoor outings.
That’s it for today, El Paso. This has been El Paso Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Stay safe and enjoy your day!
