Open House – Raise the Rails on US 64 Rio Grande Gorge Bridge – CN 5102000

JOIN US FOR AN OPEN HOUSE!

The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) is hosting an open house to share information about a project that will raise the rails at the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. The bridge is located on U.S. Highway 64, about eight miles west of the junction with N.M. Highway 522 in Taos County. The goal is to enhance safety while preserving the bridge’s historic character and structural integrity, ensuring it remains a lasting symbol of connection and safe travel.
