Mateo Overpass Construction

Demolition scheduled for May 21 – May 23

Overpass demolition will begin Wednesday, May 21 from 9pm – 5am and Thursday, May 22 from 9pm – 5am. Work is predicted to be completed on Friday morning at 5am.

Please be cautious as there will be a detour during this time. Any questions can be answered by the Roads/Transportation Director at 505-465-0301.

Mateo Overpass does not meet modern size requirements and will be replaced soon. The New Mexico Department of Transportation will begin setting up the Traffic Control the week on April 28. The construction traffic control will remain in effect for 19 months or until the project is complete.

The approved detour plan for the project and letter from Governor Moquino regarding Council’s approval of the plan are below. In this plan, Local Traffic and First Responders will be routed off Hwy 22 down the upper Spa Route 88 turning left at the trading post.

Please abide by speed limits posted and use caution on the detours to protect drivers and residents in the area. For any concerns, contact the Roads/Transportation Director at 505-465-0301.
