Weekend Lane Closures at
Woodward Road Rail Runner crossing undergoes improvements (Albuquerque, NM - November 30 2007) – South valley motorists traveling through the railroad crossing at Woodward Road between Second Street and Broadway Boulevard will be diverted north to Coal Avenue and south to Rio Bravo Boulevard the next two weekends, as the New Mexico Rail Runner Express makes improvements to the railroad track crossing. Work crews will be replacing the whole crossing at Woodward Road including pouring all new concrete beneath the rail. This will make for a much smoother and safer commute for both trains and vehicles using the crossing. “These improvements will greatly increase railroad safety in the area”, says Lawrence Rael, Executive Director of the Mid-Region Council of Governments. “Having regular commuter service in the middle region of the state has really brought attention to track and road safety.” adds Rael. Woodward Road Railroad Crossing Closure “I am very pleased that these improvements are taking
place”, says NM State Representative Kiki Saavedra.”My constituents
have been asking for improvements on this crossing for some time now,
and this means that not only will their passage be smoother across the
tracks at Woodward, but also train passengers will benefit from the
upgrades as well.” Contact:
