The public is invited to a presentation about upcoming improvements to a mile of state roadway on the north side of Las Cruces, with work beginning in January and expected to run through October.
On U.S. Highway 70 / North Main Street, from milepost 149.10 to 150 (near Elks Drive/N. Triviz Drive), crews will add a lane in each direction, to provide three lanes on the eastbound and westbound sides. Additionally, box culverts will be installed to improve drainage at the Alameda Arroyo Trail; a new traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of Elks/N. Triviz; new curbs and gutters, sidewalks and roadway striping and signage will be installed as well, per a news release from the New Mexico Department of Transportation.
Work is slated to begin on Jan. 29.
The DOT is holding a meeting to review construction plans, traffic impacts and the timeline for the project, answer questions and receive public input.
The meeting will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 18, in the library of Jornada Elementary School, 3400 Elks Drive in Las Cruces.
