Ribbon Cutting Ceremony South Meadows Road and Bridge Project
Santa Fe, NM – May 19, 2011- Santa Fe County Commission Chair, Virginia Vigil would like to invite Santa Fe County Residents to the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the recently completed South Meadows Road and Bridge extension on Monday, May 23 at 10 a.m. The Ceremony will be held at the NM 599 Frontage Road and South Meadows intersection.
The South Meadows Road and Bridge project started in January 2010 and has an approximate distance of 0.92 miles. It begins at the intersection of South Meadows and Agua Fria Road and ends at the NM 599 frontage Road near CR 62.
"The need for a state of the art river crossing in District 2 no longer exists with the opening of South Meadows, which connects 599 to Airport Road. When I was first elected in 2003, many area residents utilized the river as a road and I am pleased this project eliminates that issue,” said County Commission Chair, Virginia Vigil.
The total project cost is approximately $4.4 million, with $3.15 million funded from a 2008 General Obligation Bond and $1.25 million funded through the regional quarter percent capital outlay Gross Receipts Tax (GRT). The project was engineered by Gannett Fleming West and constructed by TLC Plumbing and Heating.
