Last updated: 05/14/2019

The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), with significant input from the public and stakeholder agencies, completed a corridor study for the Interstate 25 (I-25) corrdior through Santa Fe. The purpose of the study was to provide recommendations for the regional transportation network and for improvements to I-25 between the Santa Fe Relief Route (NM599) and Old Pecos Trail (NM466) to meet existing and future travel demands on this section of I-25

Revisions to the I-25 Corridor Study Final Report

This study began in 2006 in accordance with the New Mexico Department of Transportation Procedures, a Guide for Alignment and Corridor Studies. Typically, during the Phase B of the Study Procedures, a detailed evaluation of the alternatives for a single project is conducted with the purpose of narrowing the field of alternatives for the environmental study, to be conducted during Phase C. Howerver, as this study progressed, a wide range of regional improvements were considered in conjunction with the St. Francis Drive and Veterans Memorial Highway (NM599) corridor studies, more typical of long-range planning and prioritization studies.

The final report for this study, dated February 26, 2010 was entitled, Phase B: Detailed Evaluation of Improvements Concepts fo rthe I-25 Corridor, NM599 to NM466. Following discussions with the Federal Highway Administration and New Mexico Department of Transportation, a decision was made to change the name of the final report to more accurately reflect the nature of this study. The report name was changed to I-25 Long Range Cooridor Plan and Prioritization Study: I-25 from NM599 to NM466. Minor changes to the text were made to be consistent with the title and nature of the study. It is important to note that the technical analysis and recommendations have not changed.
