Road Warrior: Groundbreaking for Los Lunas corridor project set for August
May 26—Happy Memorial Day Monday. The groundbreaking for the Los Lunas Interstate 25 second interchange and east-west corridor project is expected to take place in the summer. "We are narrowing down a date for a groundbreaking ceremony in August," Deputy Village Administrator Erin Callahan said, "but the actual work on the project could start shortly before that, depending on how quickly the contractor can mobilize." The corridor would go from I-25 to N.M. Highway 47 and will include a full interchange at Morris Road, a river bridge, and intersections at Sichler Road, N.M. Highway 314, Edeal Road and Highway 47, according to the village website. On May 2, the village awarded phase one of the project to Terrero Construction. "This is a historic milestone for our community," Mayor Charles Griego said in a news release. "Breaking ground on the Los Lunas Boulevard corridor isn't just about building a road — it's about building opportunity. This new interchange will reduce congestion on N.M. 6, improve emergency response, and unlock access to high-growth areas that have been waiting for critical infrastructure investment." The Valencia County News-Bulletin reported the overall project budget is about $170 million. I-25 PROJECT NEARING COMPLETION: The roadway rehabilitation project on Interstate 25 between Caballo and Las Palomas in Sierra County is expected to be finished in June, New Mexico Department of Transportation District 1 spokesperson Ami Evans said. A 12-foot width restriction is in place throughout the project, she said. Oversize loads will require a permit. The contractor's hours of operation will be from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, Evans said. 'CHAOTIC, DANGEROUS': Reader Larry Buck said the roundabout at Rio Grande NW and Candelaria NW "demonstrates the lack of how a rotary is supposed to work. "Drivers who are going either south or north on Rio Grande think that they have right-of-way to zoom thru the rotary regardless," he said. Additionally, Buck said, there are "some reticent drivers who are entering the rotary, come to a full stop before entering the rotary even when there are no vehicles entering or even in the rotary. In summary, this rotary is chaotic, dangerous, and demonstrates driver ignorance," he said.
