Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP) is a 5-year planning tool to guide infrastructure goals, projects, and funding strategies.
Description
Carbon Coal Road is a designed four-lane industrial road that will connect US491 to the Gallup Energy Logistics Park. This project will create a Four Corners gateway to transloading, logistics, transportation, storage, and manufacturing industries. The project was designed by DePauli Engineering & Surveying and funded by NM Capital Outlay monies. In the 2019 NM Legislative Session, $23M were appropriated to the build-out of Carbon Coal Road and upgrading the intersection at Us491 and Ninth Street/Chino Loop Road. The County has requested that NM Department of Transportation (NMDOT) manage these two projects together. Project is scheduled to be completed by December 2021.
