Nearly $50 Miilion Awarded For Highway Construction Projects.

Gov. Bill Richardson says the state has awarded contracts for four highway reconstruction projects under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The projects are valued at around 50-million dollars and are expected to start in a month.

The Department of Transportation has awarded Silver City-based James Hamilton Construction, work on US-62/180 and New Mexico 128.

State officials say work on US-62/180 will take place from Carlsbad to the Texas State line. Some new lanes will be constructed. The cost is estimated at around 17 million dollars and should be done in 18 months. Work on New Mexico 128 will take place around Jal to the Texas state line. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
