THERE'S A NEW STUDY OUT ON THE WORST CITIES FOR TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN THE U-S. HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE, ONE OF THE PROBLEM AREAS HAS ALWAYS BEEN I-25 AND PASEO DEL NORTE. PHIL GALLEGOS WITH THE D-O-T SAYS ONCE THE BIG INTERCHANGE PROJECT IS COMPLETED BY THE END OF THE YEAR, COMMUTE TIMES WILL BE IMPROVED. GALLEGOS SAYS IT'S ESTIMATED THAT THE IMPROVEMENTS WILL SAVE ONE HOUR PER PERSON PER WEEK IN TRAVEL TIME.
GALLEGOS SAYS THEY'LL OPEN UP A NEW I-25 NORTHBOUND OFF-RAMP TO SAN ANTONIO THIS WEEKEND. HE SAYS THE PROJECT IS NOW ALMOST AT THE HALF-WAY POINT.
BY THE WAY, THE STUDY SHOWS THE WORST TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN THE COUNTRY IS IN LOS ANGELES.
