Project Overview
The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) will begin improving the Interstate 25 (I-25) corridor in Albuquerque between Comanche Road and Montgomery Boulevard, including the freeway, frontage roads, and interchanges.
​
The project will improve safety and travel times for drivers now and in the future. Additionally, the aging bridges and pavements will be replaced and barrier-separated shared-use paths will be added at the interchanges to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
​
This is a design-build project, meaning the design and construction will happen concurrently, which allows NMDOT and the contractor to include the most innovative and current construction solutions while ensuring a quality product.

EMAIL BLASTS
Email blasts will be sent out in advance of road closures or new traffic patterns during construction. They will not be used for day-to-day impacts like an overnight ramp closure or a crash in the work zone.
TEXT MESSAGE ALERTS
Real-time text message alerts will be sent out in advance of road closures and delays longer than anticipated (more than 15 minutes), which may include a crash in the work zone or unexpected lane closure. They will be used so you can plan your travel. The public provided feedback via a survey, and the team listened!
