Albuquerque Road Work & U-Turn Contest

Big road changes are coming to Albuquerque—starting June 28, the old Montgomery NE bridge comes down as part of a multi-year project wrapping in spring 2027, with nightly detours from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Plus, NM DOT is rolling out “Texas U-turns” at Comanche & Montgomery interchanges to ease traffic, and they’re running a public naming contest for these new features—submit your creative, non-political ideas by Friday. Meanwhile, the city’s launching “Stop for Everyone,” an online training program to help drivers, cyclists, and walkers understand updated traffic laws, especially around pedestrian crossings. And if you’re headed toward Gallina, watch out—N.M. 96 between mileposts 8 and 25 will be under rehab starting Monday, taking about 15 days, weather permitting.
