SPRINGER – The New Mexico Department of Transportation – District Four will begin road construction on U.S. 56 between mileposts 20 to 35 (Between Springer and Clayton) starting on April 6th. A lane closure will be in effect during working hours which will consist of a pilot car operation, the traveling public is advised to expect minor delays.
The project includes 30 lane miles of pavement rehabilitation which consists of utilizing the existing asphalt material. The process is simple; first, you scarify, second, you add a rejuvenating agent, and then replace and compact with the traditional laydown and roller/ compactor equipment. The project has a completion date of around the middle of May, weather permitting.
The New Mexico Department of Transportation – District Four wants to remind motorists to drive safely through work zones and obey all traffic laws.
