I-25/US 550 Interchange Reconstruction Has Begun

You may have noticed the “Road Work Ahead” signs that have been placed on I-25, US 550 and Highway 165. These are for the interchange reconstruction and the improvements to Highway 165 and US 550 between the interchange and NM 313.

The project will include: reconstruction of the 1-25/US 550 interchange ramps, pavement rehabilitation on the existing lanes on NM 165 and US 550, and widening of US 550 and the existing bridge over I-25. The work will also include drainage improvements, an intelligent traffic system, signals and lighting, two new pedestrian bridges over the railroad tracks, backage roads north and south of US 550, the new Hill Road Bypass, reconfiguration of the north and south frontage roads, and new median cable barrier on I-25.

The contractor, FNF Construction, had a public awareness meeting on March 20 at Bernalillo High School. Approximately 30 people were in attendance. At the meeting, questions were answered and the project schedule was presented. The contractor provided the schedule shown below (click on image for a larger view). The project is anticipated to be complete by the end of September 2013.

    The worst run project I have ever seen. Inadequate and confusing signage. Dangerous conditions. Way behind schedule. Somebody should be fired.
