Major construction project begins in Rio Rancho

If you're going through this busy stretch of road, you may want to add time to your commute

RIO RANCHO, N.M. — Construction on a new water line and road on Broadmoor Boulevard is scheduled to begin Monday in Rio Rancho.

This project consists of a new water line and new roadway reconstruction from Country Club Drive to Loma Colorado Boulevard.

Construction will last for about a year and will cost $8,436,641.10. However, no full lane closures are expected during the process. You can expect some delays.

“Both directions of travel will be maintained throughout the duration of the project, ensuring that traffic can continue to flow smoothly along the roadway,” the city states.

However, the intersection of Nicklaus Drive and Broadmoor will be temporarily closed for about a week late into the project.

The project will include the installation of new water lines with roadway reconstruction on these streets:

  • Lakeview Circle
  • Links Lane
  • Golfers Lane
  • Turf Lane
  • Diez Y Ocho Court

Some schools will adjust their bus routes to accommodate the changes in traffic patterns. Affected schools have already communicated these updates to parents and students, according to the city.
