Expect nighttime road closures for bridge testing

If you’re planning to travel in and around the intersection of Main Street and University Avenue the next few days, you’d better check your watch before you go.

From 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. from Wednesday, Nov. 15, through at least Monday, Nov. 20, there will be closures in place.

The New Mexico Department of Transportation District One office will conduct overnight roadway closures for testing on the Interstate 10 bridge that goes over University and Main.
The testing is being done to maintain the integrity of the bridge.
