To listen to a live Q&A facilitated at the public meeting on
April 24, 2024, please go to the Public Meeting tab.

Based on the additional questions asked during this comment period, we have added many new topics to this tab. Click the categories below to read through the common questions and answers from the study team.

  • Why is the study being done?
    The I-25 S-Curve is one of the biggest transportation safety issues in the Albuquerque area. As a result, the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) has designated it as a priority area for evaluating current traffic conditions and exploring additional alternative solutions to enhance safety along this corridor.
  • Have you considered how the final product, after construction, will affect businesses, residents, students, and other community members?
    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires agencies to assess the environmental effects of the proposed actions when making decisions before constructing a project. Impacts to businesses, residents, students, and the community are all part of the key environmental resources that we look at.
  • How can I provide input?
    Although our formal comment period has closed, our team encourages you to share your thoughts via email at study@i25scurve.com or the hotline at 505-600-2232. Visit the public meeting tab to learn more and to share your input!
  • Is there a budget restraint for this project, including the acquisition of property?
    Following the NMDOT’s Locations Study Procedures, cost is considered as part of the detailed alternatives analysis. Alternatives can be evaluated for their ability to achieve the project objective and compared for cost-benefit and level of impact. After selecting the preferred alternative, the cost estimate should be refined for the DOT to identify funding opportunities.
  • Why did we extend our second comment period until June 10, 2024?
    The decision to extend the second public comment period was made to accommodate additional stakeholder meetings scheduled for early June and to allow those organizations and other members of the public to submit a public comment afterwards if they choose. We want to ensure that everyone has the chance to provide feedback, even if they participate in these meetings after the original deadline.
