SILVER CITY – The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) District One, in partnership with Mountain States Constructors, Inc., continues work on the U.S. 180 widening project from a 2-lane to a 4-lane road between Bayard and Hurley.
As part of the ongoing project, crews are scheduled for a rock blasting operation. U.S. 180 will be closed from Lusk St. to the Bayard Cemetery at milepost 125.8.
Motorists should expect delays, as the closure is anticipated to last approximately 30 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour.
The NMDOT urges travelers to plan accordingly and appreciates the public’s cooperation during this construction phase. For more information or updates, visit the NMDOT website at www.nmroads.com or call 511.
