FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SANTA FE – A paving project on I-25 near La Bajada is causing backups. Drivers heading northbound may experience significant delays depending on traffic volume this Monday, July 13 from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. due to lane closures.

A single lane will be open to allow traffic to pass through the project from the Cochiti Exit to the Waldo Exit.

People trying to get out of town for the weekend and larger, slower moving vehicles contributed to a significant backup Friday afternoon on this stretch of interstate.

The NMDOT apologizes for the inconvenience and recommends drivers plan accordingly for a delayed commute. The department appreciates your patience and understanding.
