Planning to travel somewhere that requires you to take NM 309? The New Mexico Department of Transportation has closed the road at the river bridge until further notice citing safety concerns near the road and bridge, KOB 4 reports.
The NMDOT said it will keep the road closed as a precaution while crews assess the area and determine what repairs or other measures are necessary, according to the news report.
