GET READY FOR THE ORANGE BARRELS IN RIO RANCHO. TWO ROAD PROJECTS ARE GETTING UNDERWAY IN RIO RANCHO. ONE IS THE MUCH ANTICIPATED SOUTHERN BLVD RECONSTRUCTION BETWEEN GOLF COURSE ROAD AND NEW MEXICO 528. THE MORE THAN 14 MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO TAKE A YEAR TO COMPLETE. CITY OFFICIALS SAY SOUTHERN BLVD WILL REMAIN OPEN AT ALL TIMES, AND TRAFFIC WON’T BE DETOURED.
THE OTHER PROJECT INVOLVES PATCHING THE POT HOLES AND CRACKS ON UNSER BLVD BETWEEN FAROL ROAD AND ZAPATA AVENUE. ITS HOPED THE IMPROVEMENTS WILL SMOOTH THE ROADWAY UNTIL THE MONEY IS THERE FOR A LARGER WIDENING PROJECT ON UNSER.
