A busy intersection got even busier on Monday, as the traffic lights at US 550 and NM528 were down for most of the day.
The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) announced early Monday that a signal outage at the intersection of US 550 and NM 528 caused emergency repairs and heavy delays. The traffic signal was non-operational, and an all-way stop was in effect, according to a press release from NMDOT.
Just before 4 p.m., NMDOT announced that the intersection was operational but “is not operating at full efficiency as the NMDOT is awaiting additional components for signal timing.”
The outage caused significant traffic Monday with traffic backed up in all directions.
