Upgrades will increase resiliency to flooding and provide more reliable public access
GLENWOOD, NM, November 6, 2023 – The Federal Highway Administration, in cooperation with New Mexico Department of Transportation and the Gila National Forest, is preparing to begin construction of improvements to New Mexico Highway 174, the road that provides public access to Catwalk National Recreation Trail. Construction is expected to begin the week of November 17, 2023, continuing through July 2024. Traffic will be limited to one lane, with possible delays of up to 30 minutes.
“We have been waiting a long time for this project to come to fruition,” said Glenwood District Ranger Brian Stultz. “The upgraded low water crossings, improved drainage, and resurfacing are needed to improve resilience of the roadway to flooding, and to provide more reliable public access to the Catwalk Trail.”
