ALAMOGORDO – The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) District Two will begin a pavement improvement project this August on U.S. 70 near Holloman Air Force Base. The project includes four miles of pavement preservation on all six lanes along the U.S. 70 corridor between Alamogordo and Holloman Air Force Base in Otero County. Work is expected to be completed in September, weather permitting.
During the project, motorists can expect a one-lane closure and short delays between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Drivers are asked to watch for construction personnel working in the area, observe temporary construction signs, and reduce speed to the posted speed limits.
The New Mexico Department of Transportation District Two wants to remind motorists to drive safely through work zones, “Safe roads for all. Protect workers. Protect road users. We can do it!”
