ALBUQUERQUE CITY CREWS MAKE HEADWAY ON THE MESS LEFT BEHIND BY FRIDAY'S RAINS THAT FLOODED MUCH OF DOWNTOWN. MICHAEL RIORDAN WITH THE CITY MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT SAYS THAT INCLUDES BROADWAY BETWEEN LOMAS AND CENTRAL, WHICH HAD THE WORST DAMAGE.
BUT REPAIR COSTS FOR DOWNTOWN DAMAGE IN GENERAL WILL ADD UP. RIORDAN TELLS US IT'LL RUN 300-THOUSAND TO 400-THOUSAND DOLLARS. WORK ON THE SINK HOLE AT BROADWAY AND MLK REQUIRES MILLING AND RESURFACING THE ROAD. HE SAYS THAT'LL LIKELY TAKE 2 WEEKS TO FINISH.
THE GARAGES AT THE CONVENTION CENTER AND THE CIVIC CENTER UNDERGROUND ARE OPEN. RIORDAN SAYS IT TOOK UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY TO REMOVE 30 CUBIC YARDS OF SILT AND SAND FROM THE UNDERGROUND GARAGE.
