PROJECT NUMBER: NM FTBL 2004(1) PROJECT NAME: Wild Rivers Road PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Wild Rivers Back Country Byway (BCB) is located within the Wild Rivers Recreation Area, a portion of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. It begins about 26 miles north of Taos, NM near the town of Cerro, NM, where NM state highway 378 dead-ends into the Byway. The Wild Rivers BCB is a 12.5-mile two-lane paved road that offers access points for recreational biking and mountain biking on 3 designated trails, sightseeing, camping / picnicking, fishing, and hiking on 10 designated trails. The access road is used for school visitations, architectural surveys, geology education services, horseback riding, and fishing tour guides. The purpose of this project is to enhance overall public access to the Wild Rivers area with surfacing improvements of 4.75 miles of Loop Road to rehabilitate, restore, and resurface (3R) the roads and parking areas. While a 1-mile section of the road remains for two-way traffic, the remaining 3.75 miles of the loop will be repaved as a one-way road and restriped to encourage non-vehicular traffic and enhanced livability by improving facilities for bicycle traffic. Change Loop Road traffic pattern. Two-way traffic will remain for 1 mile from the Entrance Road connection to the Visitor Center. The remainder of the 3.75 miles of Loop Road will be changed to one-way traffic (clockwise). Widen paved surface of the 3.75 miles to 34 feet to provide wider shoulders for bicycles. Proposed pavement typical section is two 11-foot lanes and two 6-foot shoulders with safety edge and proper shouldering material. Reconstruct pavement on the aprons where aggregate approach roads (from campgrounds, overlooks, employee parking, and the admin and host entries near the Visitor Center) intersect the paved loop road. Recondition roadway aggregate along access roads to each area. Install sleeves for future waterline repairs. Install guardrail to proper elevations. Replace signing, pavement markings, and delineators per new traffic pattern.
