Rolling roadblock on I-10 at Vado exit Friday morning to slow traffic to 15 mph

The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) District One office will be assisting law enforcement with a rolling roadblock on I-10 Friday, Nov. 8 from 9:45 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. at mile marker 155, the Vado exit.

The rolling roadblock is due to an approved quarry blast in close proximity to the interstate.

The frontage road located east of I-10 will be blocked during this operation in order to secure the area.
