ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- A major construction project is slowing traffic in Albuquerque.
Broadway is closed from Lomas to Mountain.
City crews are installing a new storm drain under Broadway to help with flooding problems in the surrounding neighborhoods.
The work is expected to continue for three months.
Detours are in place for people who need to access businesses on Broadway. It s going to be an inconvenience, but overall, we have a major problem with drainage in this city, so a new storm drain is quite necessary, said Danielle Duran, who travels in the area.
Johnny Chandler, spokesperson for the city s Department of Municipal Development, said they understand the construction will be a short-term inconvenience, but he adds that the work is critical.

The New Mexico Democrat said his RIDE Act, like the HALT Act in the House sponsored by Reps. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., David McKinley, R-W.Va., and Kathleen Rice, D-N.Y., “would involve a variety of drunk driving prevention systems, including driver monitoring, which can detect signs of distracted, impaired or fatigued driving, and alcohol detection, which uses sensors to determine that a driver is under the influence of alcohol, and then prevent the vehicle from moving,” according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
