THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE I-25/U.S. 550 INTERCHANGE IN BERNALILLO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FINISHED IN NOVEMBER. BUT IT NOW APPEARS THE WORK WON'T BE DONE UNTIL APRIL OR MAY. PHIL GALLEGOS WITH THE STATE D-O-T SAYS PAVING WORK IS BEING SLOWED BY THE FACT WE'RE NOW INTO JANUARY, AND TEMPERATURES ARE TOO COLD. HE SAYS IT'S PUSHED THE PROJECT BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL.
GALLEGOS SAYS WHEN THE 19 MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT IS COMPLETED, I-25 AND U.S. 550 WILL BE SIMILAR TO THE I-40 AND LOUISIANA INTERCHANGE IN ALBUQUERQUE.
