Starting Monday, drivers on Interstate 25 in Albuquerque will move from inner to outer lanes between Montgomery Boulevard and Comanche Road. This lane shift is part of a significant construction project aimed at improving traffic flow and safety. During daytime hours, three travel lanes will remain open in each direction, while some lanes will close overnight from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. to facilitate the transition. The speed limit in the work zone will be reduced to 55 mph, ensuring driver safety amid construction. This shift marks the beginning of Phase 2 of the project, which may take several days to finalize, as crews work to complete the new traffic pattern. Local commuters should prepare for potential delays during this period, especially during the overnight lane closures. The project aims to alleviate congestion in this busy area of the city. Authorities encourage drivers to stay alert and follow posted signs to navigate the changes safely.
