In 2019, NMDOT and City of Gallup developed the Gallup Area Transportation Safety Plan and identified numerous safety issues within Gallup. These safety issues included roadway and intersection deficiencies, excessive traffic congestion causing delays, and inadequate roadway lighting.
In response to the findings in the Gallup Area Transportation Safety Plan, NMDOT expanded the study limits to include Milepost 11 to Milepost 27 and launched the Route 66 Improved Project to examine crash history, congestion, delays, transportation gaps, and other safety-related issues as well as analyze multimodal accessibility and compile stakeholder information within the Route 66 corridor. Additionally, various alternatives will be considered to address these issues, such as access management strategies
