context_page_description: State Road 333 is a 27.715-mile-long state highway in the US state of New Mexico. NM 333's western terminus is at Interstate 40 and NM 556 in Albuquerque, and the eastern terminus is at Interstate 40 Business in Moriarty. The entire route serves as a frontage road to Interstate 40.
context_section_description: NM 333 begins in eastern Albuquerque at an intersection of Tramway Boulevard (NM 556) and Central Avenue, proceeding east on Central, the route of the former U.S. Route 66 (US 66). After a partial interchange with Interstate 40 (I-40), the highway enters the Sandia Mountains through Tijeras Canyon, where it crosses to the north side of I-40 in a diamond interchange. After traveling through Carnuel, it crosses back to the south side of I-40, though this crossing has no interchange. 
  Before entering the town of Tijeras, there is a "musical road" feature where rumble strips are arranged to play America the Beautiful for eastbound travelers. Once in Tijeras itself, the highway intersects NM 337, which travels to the southeast, and NM 14, which heads northeast to Santa Fe. Continuing east, NM 333 travels through Sedillo, where it intersects the former NM 306 and NM 217. The highway then leaves Bernalillo County, and enters Santa Fe County and the town of Edgewood, where it intersects NM 344. Shortly thereafter, the highway enters Torrance County and the city of Moriarty, where it ends at an intersection with I-40 Business (I-40 Bus.).
