THE NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IS GETTING READY TO PULL BACK ON ROAD PROJECTS AROUND THE STATE. MELISSA DOSHER WITH THE D-O-T SAYS IT’S BECAUSE OF THE COOLER WEATHER THAT’S ON IT’S WAY.
THE LAST BIG PROJECT WAS THE REHAB WORK DONE ON PARTS OF I-40. FINAL TOUCHES ARE BEING DONE ON REHAB WORK ON I-40 IN ALBUQUERQUE BETWEEN THE RIVER AND COORS BLVD. THE MAIN WORK ON I-40 WAS ACTUALLY COMPLETED MUCH EARLIER THAN ANTICIPATED. IT WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED TO END IN OCTOBER, BUT ALL THE LANES WERE REOPENED AT THE END OF AUGUST.
