Albuquerque Traffic and Road Conditions

Albuquerque traffic map.

How to use the Albuquerque Traffic Map Traffic flow lines : Red lines = Heavy traffic flow, Yellow/Orange lines = Medium flow and Green = normal traffic or no traffic*. Black lines or No traffic flow lines could indicate a closed road, but in most cases it means that either there is not enough vehicle flow to register or traffic isn't monitored. Also, If you do not see traffic flow, you can zoom in closer to reveal localized data. If you are unable to pan the map, press here (to focus off of the map) and try again.

* In known extreme weather events or accidents, the map provider may still show green lines, even if lanes or the entire road is closed.

News Release: New Mexico’s Rural Roads are Among Most Deteriorated in U.S….

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, October 13, 2022

Contact: Rocky Moretti (202) 262-0714 Carolyn Bonifas Kelly (703) 801-9212

NEW MEXICO’S RURAL ROADS ARE AMONG MOST DETERIORATED IN U.S.; BACKLOG OF NEEDED REPAIRS & IMPROVEMENTS TO U.S. RURAL ROADS & BRIDGES TOTALS $180 BILLION

Eds: TRIP’s report contains data for all 50 states for the percentage of rural roads in poor condition, the percent of deficient rural bridges, rural traffic fatality rates and the number of rural traffic fatalities.

Click here for the full report, appendices, infographics and video interview footage with report author.

Washington, D.C. – America’s rural transportation system is in need of repairs and modernization to support economic growth and improve traffic safety, but the US faces a $180 billion backlog in funding for needed repairs and improvements to the rural transportation system. This is according to a new report released today by TRIP, a national transportation research nonprofit . The report, Rural Connections: Examining the Safety, Connectivity, Condition and Funding Needs of America’s Rural Roads & Bridges , evaluates the safety and condition of the nation’s rural roads and bridges and finds that the nation’s rural transportation system is in need of immediate improvements to address deficient roads and bridges, high crash rates, and inadequate connectivity and capacity.

Roads, highways, rails and bridges in the nation’s rural areas face a number of significant challenges: they lack adequate capacity; they fail to provide needed levels of connectivity to many communities; and, they cannot adequately support growing freight travel in many corridors. Rural roads and bridges have significant deficiencies and deterioration, they lack many desirable safety features, and rural non-Interstate roads experience fatal traffic crashes at a rate far higher than all other roads and highways.

The chart below ranks states based on their rate of rural pavements in poor condition, share of rural bridges that are rated poor/structurally deficient, and fatality rates on non-Interstate, rural roads.

The report finds that New Mexico’s rural roads have significant deficiencies. Thirty-two percent of New Mexico’s rural roads are rated in poor condition – the third highest rate in the nation – and an additional 22 percent are in mediocre condition. Six percent of New Mexico’s rural bridges are rated in poor/structurally deficient condition. Bridges rated poor/structurally deficient have significant deterioration to the major components of the bridge and are often posted for lower weight or closed to traffic, restricting or redirecting large vehicles, including agricultural equipment, commercial trucks, school buses and emergency services vehicles. There were 155 fatalities on New Mexico’s non-Interstate, rural roads in 2020. Rural roads are more likely to have narrow lanes, limited shoulders, sharp curves, exposed hazards, pavement drop-offs, steep slopes and limited clear zones along roadsides.

America’s rural transportation system provides the first and last link in the supply chain from farm to market, connects manufacturers to their customers, supports the tourism industry, and enables the production of energy, food and fiber. Rural Americans are more reliant on the quality of their transportation system than their urban counterparts, with vehicle travel in rural communities averaging approximately 50 percent higher than in urban communities.

“Roadway safety countermeasures like median cable barriers, rumble strips and guardrails are among the most cost-effective ways to prevent traffic crashes and to save lives when they do happen,” said AAA traffic safety advocacy & research director, Jake Nelson. “At a time when our nation is recording record high traffic deaths, transportation investments ought to prioritize curbing traffic injuries where we can make the greatest impact—rural roads.”

Signed into law in November 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) will provide a significant boost in federal investment in roads, bridges and transit and offers an opportunity for the nation to make progress in improving the safety, reliability and condition of America’s transportation system.  The IIJA will provide $454 billion over the five-year period from 2022 to 2026 for investment in highways and transit, resulting in a 38 percent increase in federal investment in 2022. The IIJA includes a $2 billion Rural Surface Transportation Grant Program that will support projects to improve and expand the surface transportation infrastructure in rural areas to increase connectivity, improve the safety and reliability of the movement of people and freight, and generate regional economic growth and improve quality of life.

“Farmers and ranchers depend on rural roads, highways and bridges to bring critical inputs like fertilizer and feed onto the farm and to move their products to market,” said Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. “As recent supply chain challenges have highlighted, transportation delays and costs take a bite out of our profitability and competitiveness and impact the quality of rural life.  Enactment of the IIJA will provide a significant boost to federal investment in roads and bridges and offers an opportunity to improve the safety, reliability and condition of America’s transportation system.”

An analysis of the  Status of the Nation’s Highways, Bridges and Transit Conditions and Performance Report, 24 rd Edition report, submitted by the USDOT to Congress in 2021, indicates that the U.S. faces a $180 billion backlog in needed repairs and improvements to the nation’s rural roads, highways and bridges.  This includes a $109 billion backlog for rural road and highway rehabilitation, a $35 billion backlog for needed rural bridge rehabilitation, and a $36 billion backlog for needed rural roadway enhancements.

“A reliable, safe, and well-connected transportation network is critical for American businesses, farmers and producers to reach important markets for their goods and to ensure the continued support and strengthening of our nation’s economy,” said John Drake, vice president for transportation, infrastructure, supply chain policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “The significant boost in federal investments to our highways, bridges, and ports provided by the IIJA will be vital for these Americans’ ability to remain competitive in the global marketplace while providing much needed improvements to our nation’s transportation system.”

“The health of the nation’s economy and the safety and quality of life in America’s small communities and rural areas ride on our rural transportation system,” said Dave Kearby, executive director of TRIP.  “Providing the nation with a rural transportation network that supports rural America’s economy and will support its future development will require that the U.S. invest in a rural transportation system that is safe, efficient, and well-maintained, and that provides adequate mobility and connectivity to the nation’s rural communities.”

Train carrying fuel derails at Arizona-New Mexico state line, causes interstate closure

A train derailment at the Arizona-New Mexico state line is reportedly under investigation. The freight train was carrying propane and gasoline, according to The Arizona Department of Transportation.

The derailment, which happened Friday, is still causing major headaches for travelers. At one point, both directions of Interstate 40 near Chambers, Arizona were shut down. But now just the eastbound lanes remain closed. Drivers are currently being rerouted onto US 191 northbound.

The Arizona Corporation Commission posted to  X , formerly known as Twitter, and said it was a BNSF train that derailed near Lupton, Arizona.

The New Mexico Department of Transportation posted on Facebook stating that the derailment in New Mexico happened near Gallup .

Officials, Arizona Governor respond to train derailment

The Apache County Sheriff's Office posted on Facebook saying the derailment was "being treated as a hazardous materials incident" which lead to evacuation orders for nearby areas.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs posted Saturday on X, formerly known as Twitter, stating that she is concerned about the derailment and will be "monitoring the situation closely".

Investigation reportedly underway, no injuries

According to reports by multiple news outlets, the National Transportation Board (NTSB) and the Federal Road Administration (FRA) are currently investigating to figure out what lead to the train derailment.

Thankfully, there have been no injuries reported.

Navajo Nation impacted by train derailment

The Navajo Nation were a part of the evacuation orders issued because they were located within a two mile radius of where the derailment occurred. Additionally, the Navajo Nation police were one of the many agencies that responded to the incident.

The Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren issued a statement saying in part "Our deepest concern is for the safety and well-being of our citizens and those directly affected by this incident." The president also went on to say that they would cooperate with authorities and take any necessary precautions.

Freight train derails, catches fire near New Mexico-Arizona border causing road closures

A freight train detailed and caught fire, resulting in the closure of a nearby interstate, the Arizona Department of Transportation announced on Friday.

“I-40 EB is closed at milepost 357 due to a train derailment in New Mexico,” the Arizona DOT wrote on social media platform X . “Expect delays & seek an alternate route. There is no estimated time to reopen the highway.”

The train was carrying gasoline and odorless propane at the time of the derailment near Houck, Ariz. No injuries were reported as a result of the incident, according to New Mexico State Police .

Emergency crews were also on site to prevent the fire from spreading.

The cause of the derailment is unclear, and under investigation by BNSF Railway, notes The Associated Press reported .

“We’re monitoring the train derailment near the NM-AZ border closely – especially potential contamination from leaking hazardous materials,” Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) wrote on X .

Social media users described seeing the incident, with one X user writing , “Was crazy to see out of nowhere a fiery blaze shoot up in the sky.”

Friday’s derailment occurred just over a year since a Norfolk Southern train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio , and released a dangerous chemical — vinyl chloride — into the area. The incident, which thrust the railways in the spotlight, was only one of at least 29 occasions since 1968 during which toxic chemicals were released by a derailment.
