New Mexico seeks 500 miles to primary road system

Santa Fe May 6 state highway engineer Burton Dwyre said New Mexico plans to add about 500 miles to its primary road system. The candidates include U S 54 from Santa Rosa to Tularosa and State 55 from Bernalillo to Aztec. The state now has roughly 3,500 miles in the primary system, seven percent. Federal rules allow another one percent when standards reach 90 percent. Absent federal acceptance, the expansion cannot proceed. Rio Grande Railroad branch line abandonment may face further delay, per state railroad regulator Don R. Casa dos, as ICC extension keeps the May 22 cessation date in play.
