Several New Highway Projects on the Horizon

摘要

The NMDOT District Three Office comprised of Bernalillo, Sandoval and Valencia Counties, is gearing up for a busy construction season. Eight projects totaling over 120 million dollars dollars are scheduled to be constructed this year. I-40 from 98th St. to the West Central Interchange is the first of these projects and it began in January. The 16.7 million dollars GRIP roadway reconstruction project covers 2.292 miles and will include an additional westbound truck climbing lane as part of the project. The NMDOT has also partnered with Albuquerque Metropolitan Area Flood Control Authority to include construction of the west diversion drainage project as part of this roadway project. By doing so, a substantial savings of tax dollars will be realized. Sails Brothers Construction Inc. is the contractor for the project, scheduled for completion in 270 working days.
