Rio Bravo was checked by hand on October 29, 2026: its dates and costs are NMDOT's, and its line is drawn from the City of Albuquerque's road centerlines, not NMDOT's work zone. Every other project is one the City of Albuquerque lists as under construction (pulled October 29, 2026); its dates, costs and outlines are the city's, and we reworded the descriptions in plain words. Plans change. Imagery: USGS. Street map: OpenStreetMap contributors. Know of a project we should add? Tell us.
