Its-astm improvements on montgomery/montano

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $139,372.81 to the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) Transit and Rail Division under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on August 11, 2025, for implementation of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) improvements on the Montgomery/Montano corridor. The project, scheduled for completion by September 27, 2029, involves the deployment of automated signal timing measures consistent with the FHWA Every Day Counts initiative along a 6.3-mile segment extending from Unser Boulevard to the I-25 Frontage Road in New Mexico. These improvements are designed to enhance traffic flow and operational efficiency on the corridor through advanced signal coordination technologies.

As a formula grant under the Highway Planning and Construction program, this award reflects the FHWA's continued investment in traffic safety improvements and multimodal transportation enhancements. The NMDOT, functioning as both prime grant recipient and administrator of federal transportation funding, will execute the project in accordance with established federal-aid highway program requirements, including environmental compliance and state transportation planning processes. The relatively modest funding level is consistent with technology implementation projects that support broader state-administered highway improvement initiatives.
