PUBLIC MEETING (in-person)-NM 554 El Rito Bridge Replacement, CN 5101287
You're Invited to a Public Meeting on the NM 554 El Rito Bridge Replacement Project
The NMDOT invites you to attend an in-person public meeting to discuss the NM 554 El Rito Bridge Replacement Project in El Rito, Rio Arriba County, NM.  We are planning to replace the aging bridge on NM Highway 554 that crosses El Rito Creek at the northern edge of El Rito. The existing bridge is in poor condition and will be replaced to enhance safety, maintain long-term access, and meet current engineering standards.
Join us to view the proposed bridge design, learn about traffic and access impacts during construction, and ask questions and share your input with the project team. Your feedback matters and will help guide the final design.
