2nd St./Rio Bravo intersection to close for construction on June 18
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Construction is gearing up for a big road construction project this summer on an extremely busy Albuquerque intersection. Starting on June 18 and going through June 22, road crews will get started on roadwork at 2nd Street and Rio Bravo Blvd.

Construction began about a year ago, just down the street at the nearby Princeton Dr. and Rio Bravo Blvd. intersection and stretching all the way to I-25. This upcoming project will bring several improvements to this intersection of roads, walking trails, and train tracks.
'The road is being widened to 6 lanes. Three lanes in each direction. And we're installing a sidewalk on the north side of the road, where there previously wasn't one. And the southside has a trail that we'll also be improved….the railroad will be widened to match the road section, which is six lanes,' said Rodrigo Eichwald, Engineering Program Manager, Bernalillo County.
During the closure, traffic will be diverted further down 2nd Street, towards Woodward Rd. Even though full closures will be sporadic, the full construction project is not expected to be complete until December.
