District One has allocated $16,653,803 to ten local entities for roadway transportation project improvements. The funding covers 95% of project costs and is part of a broader effort by the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT), which awarded over $100 million statewide to 71 projects through its Transportation Project Fund program.
“State investments in local entities serve as essential resources for improving roadways, bridges, and airports. Without these funding opportunities, many communities would be unable to undertake the critical infrastructure projects necessary to sustain growth and development throughout New Mexico,” stated Aaron Chavarria, District One Engineer.
The funded projects include:
- City of Deming: Phase III Gold Street Maintenance Road Diet and Safety – $3,370,000
- City of Lordsburg: Chester Street Improvements (Motel – 7th) Phase II – $1,643,500
- Grant County: Ridge Road Construction – $794,391
- Luna County: Hermanas Grade Road Phase I A/B – $285,000
- Village of Columbus: Columbus Business/Historic District Improvement – $585,200
- Village of Hatch: Canal Street Bridge Construction Phase III – $4,275,000
- Village of Santa Clara: Maple St. Sidewalk & Intersection Phase II – $508,250
