NMDOT NEWS RELEASE

Travelers in the Tierra Amarilla area may experience traffic delays as a roadway rehabilitation project on US 64/84 is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, July 8.

The project will span from milepost 171, just south of Brazos, to milepost 175.1, at the US 64/84 split, and is expected to take 10 days to complete, weather permitting. The project will include the application of a micro seal solution to the roadway, followed by final striping. This structural pavement treatment will extend roadway life and improve safety for motorists.

Construction will take place Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. During construction, one lane will be closed, and a pilot car will be on hand to guide motorists through the construction zone. Motorists are strongly encouraged to wait for the pilot car to pass them in the direction they want to travel before attempting to enter the construction zone.

Motorists should expect delays and are urged to plan travel accordingly. Drivers are reminded to exercise caution in the work zone, follow all posted signs and detours, reduce speed, and stay alert for construction personnel and equipment.

American Pavement Preservation LLC has been contracted to complete the work.

The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) remains committed to the safety of all road users and appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation during this necessary work. For the latest updates, visit www.nmroads.com or dial 511.
