WITH THE MAJOR WORK NOW UNDERWAY ON THE I-25/PASEO DEL NORTE PROJECT IN ALBUQUERQUE, IT'S APPARENT HOW SLOW THE DRIVE HOME WILL BE FOR COMMUTERS IN THAT AREA. PHIL GALLEGOS WITH THE STATE D-O-T SAYS STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC CAN BE EXPECTED FOR A WHILE…AND HE'S ASKING THAT MOTORISTS BE PATIENT. HE SAYS THE BEST WAY TO GET THROUGH THIS ORDEAL IS GIVE PEOPLE THE SPACE TO MERGE.
THE MAIN ISSUE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE AFTERNOON COMMUTE, IS THAT ONE OF THE LEFT TURN LANES ONTO PASEO HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY.
THE 93-MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO BE FINISHED BY THE END OF 2014.
