EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — El Paso County says its Public Works Department is working to repair a “significant sinkhole” and roadway damage in far East El Paso.
The sinkhole happened along Mission Ridge Boulevard following a water main break Thursday night, Nov. 14, El Paso County said in a news release.
The incident caused “extensive damage” to the roadway on the northbound lanes and both northbound aand southbound lanes of Mission Ridge are currently closed.

Repairs are expected to take several weeks, the County said.
Residents in the affected area continue to have water service, and there have been no reported
complications to electrical or gas utilities, the County said.
The water main break and waterline is part of the Paseo De Este Municipal Utility District, the County said.
