NMDOT asks for opinions on bridge replacement project in Mesilla Valley

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (KVIA) -- The New Mexico Department of Transportation wants public opinion on a bridge replacement project on the I-10 in the Mesilla Valley area. Friday, NMDOT said it's taking input through June 25.

NMDOT said the project will replace four bridges; two at I-10 and Fairacres Road and two at I-10 and W Boutz Road. In addition to replacing bridges, the project will upgrade the surrounding roads to meet safety and design standards, according to the department.

An NMDOT engineer said the bridges were built in 1971 and show "signs of age and deterioration."
