Following a multi-year study, the New Mexico Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, is planning to perform drainage improvements along I-40 and NM 118 about 14 miles east of Gallup in McKinley County, New Mexico. The project aims to reduce flooding and overtopping of the roadways. Work will involve the replacement of two interstate bridges, constructing a berm north of the interstate, and raising the roadway surface elevation of both I-40 and NM 118. We are hosting a Virtual Open House to share project information and materials for your review.
