Pilar Bridge replacement eyed for Taos County at $1 million
Santa Fe reports a Senate bill urges the Transportation Department to help Taos County replace the dilapidated Pilar Bridge on the Rio Grande. The bridge, built in the 1950s, blocks fire trucks, school buses, and propane service trucks due to weight limits, risking collapse in spring runoff with 50 000 daily river users. The bridge is owned by the county and the measure seeks funding options via the Regional Planning or Local Government Road Fund and the state Infrastructure Bank. The memorial bill awaits a hearing after unanimous Senate passage.
