Interstate 10 has reopened between US 191 in southeastern Arizona and New Mexico.
The road has been closed intermittently due to blowing dust and low visibility.
On Thursday, I-10 east and westbound were also closed in the same area, due to a multi-vehicle collision.
Motorists should keep in mind that blowing dust continues to be a threat this evening with strong winds in the forecast, the Arizona Department of Transportation advises. Avoid driving into blowing dust, but if you are caught:
· Immediately check traffic around your vehicle and begin slowing down.
· Do not wait until poor visibility makes it difficult to safely pull off the road; do it as soon as possible. Completely exit the highway if you can.
· Do not stop in a travel lane or in the emergency lane. Look for a safe place to pull completely off the paved portion of the roadway.
· Turn off all vehicle lights, including your emergency flashers.
· Set your emergency brake and take your foot off the brake.
· Stay in the vehicle with your seatbelts buckled and wait for the dust to subside.
