Night Work Begins on US 84/285 Highway Project in La Puebla
The New Mexico Department of Transportation announced that night work will begin on August 24 between 10 pm and 6 am on US 84/285 in La Puebla. Crews are scheduled to haul dirt from the east side of US 84/285 at Contract Road, directly across the highway to Boneyard Road. Traffic will be intermittently stopped for a short time while equipment crosses the roadway.
This portion of US 84/285 between La Puebla and the Jct. of NM 106/399 is being reconstructed to an access-managed highway with new frontage roads and drainage improvements. This $11.6 million dollar project, which started in late July and is scheduled to be completed by fall of 2010, is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
All work schedules are subject to change. For up to date information visit www.nmroads.comor contact Karyn Lujan, District Five NMDOT PIO at 505-231-4431.
