As of October 19, 2022, a civil engineer has been selected and the project is in the final design stage.
The project consists of the replacement of the existing corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culvert with a properly-designed concrete box culvert under Idalia Rd at the Arroyo de la Barranca. The existing CMP culvert structure under Idalia Road at the Arroyo de la Barranca was constructed in the late 1990's and erodes with each storm event and could fail in a similar manner as the crossing further northeast on Idalia Road. A replacement of this crossing is needed to protect this Idalia Road crossing from a complete failure during a severe rain event. A new box culvert and adjacent arroyo bank stabilization is expected to last well into the future and will be designed to accommodate fully anticipated developed flows and future widening of Idalia Rd. Replacement of the tributary crossing further northeast on Idalia Road was completed in June 2016. Project is included City of Rio Rancho FY 2023 - 2029 Budget CIP.
