Signs are up warning about coming construction delays, and to ‘seek alternate routes’. NMDOT will soon begin construction work on U.S. 64 in El Prado, but the first phase will reportedly be at night, between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. – storm drain installation. Project schedules for other work are still being finalized. NMDOT pledges to provide at least a week’s notice before daytime traffic is severely impacted – a few weeks away. which should not happen I don’t foresee happening too soon. Does this help? Let me know.
