AFTER STARTING WORK ON THE ALBUQUERQUE RAPID TRANSIT PROJECT LAST WEEK, THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE TAKES ON THE NEXT BIG STEP THIS WEEK. CITY CHIEF OPERATIONS MANAGER MICHAEL RIORDAN SAYS IT’LL TAKE THE PROJECT FULL SCALE. RIORDAN SAYS THE CITY WILL SIGN THE LARGE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO GUARANTEE MAXIMUM PRICE FOR FULL CONSTRUCTION.
HE SAYS THAT’LL ALLOW FOR CONSTRUCTION THAT WILL CLOSE TRAFFIC LANES, BUT THOSE CLOSURES WON’T START UNTIL OCTOBER. FOR NOW, RIORDAN DOESN’T EXPECT LANE CLOSURES AS CREWS CONTINUE INSTALLING TEMPORARY LIGHT SIGNALS ALONG CENTRAL.
THE RAPID TRANSIT PROJECT IS BEING BUILT DOWN CENTRAL FROM LOUISIANA TO COORS. IT’S EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED NEXT FALL.
