The State of New Mexico has $628 Million of “shovel-ready” projects to spend stimulus money on.
According to the New Mexico Indpendent, there are 29 projects. One project that is desperately needed, is missing from that list: The I-25 and Paseo Del Norte interchange. This interchange is located in District 3 and is probably one of the most heavily traveled interchanges in the city. There are only 3 river crossings from the west to east side and Paseo Del Norte is like an expressway so when all the Paseo traffic gets to I-25 it has to merge into a few lanes and stop at the lights. Creating a huge back up.
