The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) has announced plans to construct a roundabout at the intersection of NM State Road 333 and NM State Road 217 just west of Edgewood. The decision follows a detailed traffic and safety study conducted in 2025 that evaluated several potential improvements, with the roundabout option deemed the most effective at reducing congestion and crashes at the busy intersection.
Why it matters
Roundabouts have been shown to improve traffic flow and enhance safety by slowing vehicles and eliminating the need for left turns. This project aims to address longstanding issues at this Edgewood intersection, which has been a source of frustration for local residents, commuters, and businesses.
The details
The NMDOT study analyzed three options for improving the intersection: enhanced signage, a traffic signal, and a roundabout. The roundabout was found to offer the greatest reduction in congestion and crashes. Local stakeholders are now being encouraged to provide feedback on the project through an online survey to help guide the final design.
