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.

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (https://ceq.doe.gov/)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.

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.
