• Neighbors oppose plans for 4-lane road in Valencia County (kob.com) — A major four-lane road connection from the new I-25 interchange through the Village of Los Lunas toward NM 47 and the Manzano Expressway could cut into nearby homes and farmland, neighbors warn. Local ranchers say several proposed routes threaten their property and quality of life, while county officials stress the project is still in early planning and open to public comment through the end of the month.
