YOU’LL WANT TO STAY AWAY FROM LOUISIANA SOUTH TO GIBSON SOUTHEAST IN ALBUQUERQUE FOR THE NEXT 100 DAYS OR SO. THAT’S WHERE A 2-POINT-4 MILLION DOLLAR CONSTRUCTION PROJECT ON A 47-ACRE DRAINAGE FACILITY IS GETTING UNDERWAY TO EASE FLOODING FOR THOSE LIVING IN NEARBY NEIGHBORHOODS AND ON KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE. IT’S HOPED IT’LL LOWER FLOOD INSURANCE FOR THOSE PEOPLE.
THE PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES GIBSON EAST OF LOUISIANA BEING RECONFIGURED TO KEEP DRIVERS FROM RUSHING THROUGH KIRTLAND’S GIBSON GATE UNAUTHORIZED. IT’S BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS, WITH 32 INCIDENTS REPORTED THIS YEAR ALONE.
