Press Release
ROSWELL-The Berrendo Creek Bridges in Roswell will be partially closed beginning in February for resurfacing and repair work on structures. Work on this $1 million project is expected to be finished by November first.
The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) will oversee bridge rehabilitation work on the Berrendo Creek Bridges, on US 285 (Main Street) in Roswell.
The original bridges, built in 1963, currently serve northbound and southbound traffic Main Street. The northbound bridge will be used to accommodate both directions of traffic, while work takes place on the southbound bridge. Only one lane in each direction will be open across the bridges while work is taking place.
Limited lane availability during this project will prevent wide loads up to 12 feet. Due to longer wait times expected at the bridges, motorists are encouraged to travel at off-peak hours if possible, or seek alternate routes. Message boards are being used to notify motorists of delays and keep vehicles moving safely.
