Let鈥檚 Talk New Mexico, 10/24 8a: There seems to be never-ending road construction around our state. The New Mexico Department of Transportation has a showing dozens of ongoing projects and more in planning phases. and also have their own websites to highlight these kinds of projects for their residents. Further, during construction signs along Interstate 25 up and down La Bajada near Santa Fe highlighted federal funding and Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham鈥檚 dedication to the industry and the economic boon the projects create.
On the next Let鈥檚 Talk New Mexico, we鈥檒l discuss road construction, from funding to planning, and how we can best deal with the associated traffic.
Have you missed something important because of construction delays? How could the burden of construction be eased on motorists? Would you choose roadway expansion over more robust public transportation? Are the traffic and delays now worth the nicer roads we鈥檒l have in the future?
