The goal is to enhance sa fety and operations and bring the corridor up to current design standards.   \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Project AreaThe project area extends alo ng Interstate 40 through Gallup from just east of the Puerco River near th e Miyamura Interchange. This section of I-40 serves as a critical transpor tation route for residents\, businesses\, visitors\, and freight movement through western New Mexico. Several restaurants\, hotels\, retail business es\, and transportation facilities are located within and near the projec t corridor\, including a nearby BNSF Railway yard near the US 491 intercha nge.   \nExisting Conditions  I-40 currently has two travel lanes in e ach direction. Each travel lane is 12 feet wide.  Additionally\, the ins ide shoulders are about 4 feet wide and outside shoulders are about 10 f eet wide. Between the directions of travel there’s an earthen median t hat varies from 28 to 52 feet wide.  \nPavement in this area is deteriora ting with visible cracking and rutting. The existing narrow shoulders a nd deteriorating art panels within the slope paving have sustained damage over time\, and roadside safety features no longer meet current standa rds. Together\, these conditions create operational and safety concerns an d highlight the need for improvements along this section of I-40.  \n  \ n  \n \n \n \n \n \n Potential Traffic Impacts During Construction  \nWhen construction begins\, work crews may need to requir e temporary traffic control measures to safely accommodate construction ac tivities while maintaining mobility through the corridor.   \nMotorist s should expect minor delays as work progresses from west to east along th e project limits.   \nPeriodic lane restrictions will be necessary\, a nd nighttime paving operations will require reducing I-40 to a single lane in certain areas.   \nMaloney Avenue will be reduced to one lane during artwork rehabilitation activities.   \nSafety remains the highest pri ority throughout construction\, and drivers are encouraged to remain alert \, follow posted traffic control devices\, reduce speeds in work zones an d use caution when traveling through active construction areas to protect both workers and fellow motorists.  \nNext Steps  \nThe project is curre ntly in final design\, with plans to start accepting bids from contractor s in mid-2027. Construction is expected to begin in late 2027.  \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n How to Participate\nNMDOT is holding an Online Open House from September 17th to October 18th\, 2026.
