MORE PROGRESS IS BEING MADE ON THE I-25/PASEO DEL NORTE PROJECT IN ALBUQUERQUE. EASTBOUND LANES OPENED MONDAY MORNING ON THE NEW JEFFERSON OVERPASS ON PASEO. BUT PHIL GALLEGOS WITH THE STATE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT SAYS YOU STILL NEED TO USE CAUTION THROUGH THAT AREA. HE SAYS IT'S STILL A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND IT'S TIGHT, SO DRIVERS NEED TO OBEY THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS.
THE AREA HAS BEEN A MAJOR BOTTLE-NECK FOR MORNING COMMUTERS. GALLEGOS SAYS IT'LL BE A FEW MORE WEEKS BEFORE WESTBOUND LANES ON THE OVERPASS ARE OPEN. THE ENTIRE PROJECT IS SCHEDULED FOR COMPLETION IN DECEMBER.
