Santa Fe–The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) will begin construction on the I-25/NM14 (Cerrillos Road) Diverging Diamond Interchange located south of Santa Fe. The contractor will begin milling out the old roadway, earthwork activities, clearing and grubbing, and setting up their Storm Water Pollution Plan (SWPP).

The closures scheduled on June 16 have been re-scheduled for Friday, June 26, 2015. The re-scheduled date of the upcoming closures is to allow for additional and advanced awareness of the upcoming closures to the traveling public. The NMDOT thanks you for your patience during this improvement project

Starting Friday, June 26, 2015, the southbound I-25 exit ramp (Exit 278A) to southbound NM 14 will be CLOSED. The Northbound I-25 exit ramp (Exit 278) to southbound NM 14 will be CLOSED. Traffic will be detoured to I-25 Exit 276 (NM 599) to access NM 14 southbound.

The I-25 northbound and southbound on-ramps will remain OPEN. Southbound I-25 (Exit 278B) off-ramp to northbound Cerrillos Road will remain OPEN. Northbound I-25 (Exit 278) off-ramp to northbound Cerrillos Road will remain OPEN.

The exit ramps will remain closed until completion of project. This project is scheduled to be completed in winter of 2016.

This is the first interchange of its kind in the State of New Mexico.
