DOT NEWS RELEASE

A bridge repair project will begin on NM 68 in Espanola Sept. 15.

The project entails the patching and injection of epoxy into delaminated areas of the bridge decks and then repair of joint seals between the sections of the bridge decks. Finally, there will be an application of an overlay to protect the bridge decks from the elements. This should extend the life of the bridges by many years.

Starting Monday, September 15, 2025, traffic can expect lane closures beginning at milepost 0 to milepost 1. There will be a flagging operation in place to allow motorists to pass through the work zone. Work is expected to take place from 7a.m. to 5p.m. each day and the entire project is expected to be completed by September 19, 2025, weather permitting.

The contractor for this project is Hasse Contracting Company, Inc.

The project is expected to cost $149,282
