Vega Interchange at I-40 and US 385 Nears Approval
U.S. Rep. Graham Purcell says final approval is imminent for a Vega interchange and ramps on Interstate 40 at US 385. Local residents have opposed the bypass plan for over a decade, and officials from local to federal levels cite coordinated action as key to the project.
