Sunport Boulevard Extension Bohannan Huston, Inc. Project Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico Project Start Date: 27 September 2021 Project Completion: 21 June 2023
Project Team: Owner: Bernalillo County, New Mexico Civil Engineer: Bohannan Huston and Molzen Corbin General Contractor: AUI Inc. Construction Management Co.: Bohannan Huston Structural Engineer: Bohannan Huston Landscape: Molzen-Corbin Geotech: Terracon Sub- surface Utility: CobbFendley Environmental: Ecosphere Environmental Interchange Modifications Contractor: Star Paving Project Summary: The Sunport Boulevard Extension created a new road- way corridor between I-25 and Broadway near the Albuquerque Internation - al Sunport with the road of improving the roadway system and multimodal connectivity from the I-25/Sunport Interchange to Broadway Boulevard and Second Street. Beyond boosting transportation connectivity, the project aims to enhance access to existing and prospective economic hubs, balance traffic, alleviate congestion by adding another link to the arterial system, expand multimodal options, and boost emergency accessibility. The design was split into two portions: the I-25/Sunport Interchange Reconfiguration and the Roadway Extension from I-25 to Sunport. Impact: The Sunport Boulevard project is a much-needed transportation infrastructure solution that bridges a significant gap in the local transpor - tation network, providing improved multimodal transportation options for pedestrians and cyclists while also easing traffic congestion and serving as a backup during emergencies or closures due to construction. The project’s location crosses a superfund site, which made special drainage measures–such as realigning the groundwater remediation system while ensuring the treatment facility experienced no downtime. Furthermore, the project included the removal of old remediation water lines in an envi- ronmentally-safe way, demonstrating that the care invested in design and construction will further support site rehabilitation to open opportunities for economic development along the corridor.
