Blowing dust causes closure of 60-mile stretch of I-10
A 60-mile stretch of Interstate 10 in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico was closed Sunday because of blowing dust from a farm field.
The closure runs from just east of Willcox, Arizona, to Lordsburg, New Mexico.
Traffic is being detoured through Safford, Arizona, on U.S. 191 and U.S. 70.
The blow dust is coming off a field near San Simon, Arizona.
The closure will remain in place until the winds calm, likely in the evening.
