ANTHONY, N.M. - The New Mexico Department of Transportation District One office in cooperation with contractor Mountain States Constructors, Inc. will oversee a roadway reconstruction and lighting project on NM 404 from milepost 0.9 (Anthony) to milepost 8.8 (Chaparral).

Beginning Monday, Dec. 5, drivers can expect various daytime lane closures on both the eastbound and westbound lanes as needed. The contractor will begin building the eastbound lanes first moving then to the westbound lanes and finally into the median. The goal of the project is to widen and better light the roadway.

Contractor’s hours of operation will be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. 

This reconstruction project was awarded in the amount of $39.8 million and is expected to take just over a year to complete, weather pending.
