Highlighted Project: Cuba la CuevaConstructed: FY 15 Success Story: This project continues work completed in 2003 by CFLHD under the Forrest Highway program on NM State Highway 126 located in in the Santa Fe National Forest, Sandoval County, New Mexico. This project consisted of grading, drainage, aggregate base, and asphalt surfacing of approximately 2 miles of roadway and also included curve realignments, a new bridge structure, wetland mitigation, excavation, and drainage improvements. Final design services and construction contracting, as well as onsite stewardship and oversight were administered by CFLHD. Through successful collaboration between CFLHD, NMDOT, and the contractor, the project delivery schedule was accelerated by utilizing on-site earthwork that resulted in a time savings of 15 percent.
