COULD YOU USE ANOTHER 886 DOLLARS A YEAR? THAT’S HOW MUCH ONE GROUP SAYS ALBUQUERQUE DRIVERS LOSE EACH YEAR IN TIME AND FUEL COSTS DUE TO TRAFFIC CONGESTION. “TRIP,” A NON-PROFIT TRANSPORTATION ORGANIZATION, SAYS DUKE CITY DRIVERS ALSO LOSE 36 HOURS A YEAR AS THEY’RE STUCK IN TRAFFIC.
“TRIP” SAYS, STATEWIDE, IT’S ESTIMATED NEW MEXICO IS GOING TO NEED ABOUT 1-POINT-5 BILLION DOLLARS TO BRING THE STATE’S ROADS UP TO ACCEPTABLE STANDARDS, BUT THERE’S ONLY ABOUT 200-MILLION DOLLARS ON HAND.
AMONG PROJECTS THE GROUP WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE I-25-MONTGOMERY INTERCHANGE.
