THE LONG-AWAITED WIDENING OF HIGHWAY 550 FROM I-25 TO 528 IN RIO RANCHO WILL SOON BE UNDERWAY. CONSTRUCTION HAS ALREADY BEGUN ON A KEY COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT…A NEW RIO GRANDE BRIDGE THAT’S GOING UP NORTH OF THE EXISTING BRIDGE. KENNETH MURPHY WITH THE NEW MEXICO TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT TELLS US THE GOAL IS TO ALWAYS HAVE TWO LANES OF TRAVEL OPEN IN EACH DIRECTION.
THE D-O-T IS HOLDING A PUBLIC MEETING ON THE PROJECT WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN THE BERNALILLO TOWN HALL STARTING AT 5PM.
