Events
Open House - US 64 Tres Piedras to Taos Study, CN 5101660
You are invited to an Open House to discuss the future of US 64 from Tres Piedras to Taos. At this public event, members of the study team will be available to present the preliminary results of the study, explain the proposed improvements to the roadway, answer your questions and receive your feedback.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY?
The purpose of this study is to identify ways to improve roadway and roadside safety, reduce crashes, address roadway and drainage infrastructure deficiencies, and enhance connectivity along the corridor.
Corridor Needs Identified:
- Roadway geometry and pavement condition deficiencies
- Crossing drainage structure deficiencies
- Safety and access control improvements
- Pedestrian, bicycle, and transit deficiencies
US 64 is a critical connection between Tres Piedras and Taos, providing access to communities, businesses, public lands, and cultural and historic resources. The corridor passes through developed and rural areas, Bureau of Land Management lands, private properties, and Taos Pueblo tribal lands, and includes nationally significant features such as the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge and historic transportation corridors.
WHERE ARE WE IN THE PROCESS AND WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS?
The study team has evaluated roadway and drainage conditions and has developed some preliminary improvement alternatives. The Study Team will be hosting an Open House on October 8th from 4-7pm at the Taos Civic Center. Your involvement will help us understand local needs, review concerns early, and shape the future construction that genuinely supports everyone who travels the corridor.
