2nd and Menaul Boulevard intersection reconstruction project

Dear Friends and Neighbors:

The City of Albuquerque in coordination with the New Mexico Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration, is proposing to improve the Second Street/Menaul Boulevard intersection. The proposed project is anticipated to consist of a complete reconstruction of the existing intersection, including the addition of turn-lanes and the addityion of one northbound and one southbound through-lane.The additional lanes may serve as right-turn-only lanes until such a time as future six-lane corridor improvements are implemented on Second Street. Reconstruction of the traffic signal, expansion of sidewalks, landscaping, and installation of on-street bicycle lanes are also anticipated to be included in the proposed project. These proposed improvements would address current needs for additional capacity in the intersection and accommodate City policy to improve Second Street with bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The limits of the proposed improvements are anticipated to extend from Arvada Avenue on the south to Claremont Avenue on the north, and Fourth Street on the west to the AT&SF Railroad corridor on the East.
