Horses trading boosts Taos County highway upgrades
State highways in Taos County benefit from a bid savings of 1.7 million on the Amalia to Rio Contilla project, allowing 4.5 million in new Taos work. Rep. Fred Peralta says funds were moved up for SR 3 improvements to Cerro and SR 8 toward U.S. Hill, with studies on SR 96 Taos Junction Road and SR 64 Taos Canyon passing lanes. The plan also considers a school crossing signal near Ranchos Elementary and notes a costly SR 96 gorge widening is not feasible.
