Project Description

The major design and operational features of the corridor construction include:

Construction of two dedicated rapid vehicle (bus) lanes within the existing operational right - of - way of Central Avenue from Coors Boulevard east to Louisiana Boulevard (approximately 8.75 miles). In general, the rapid vehicle lanes will occupy the existing median of the street and will include one westbound lane and one eastbound lane. This concept will be used in all locations except as follows:

From San Pasquale Avenue to 10 th Street (0.75 miles), the rapid vehicles will operate in a single reversible lane with the rapid vehicle operating in the off - peak direction traveling in mixed flow traffic lanes.
In the Albuquerque Downtown area, the rapid vehicles will operate in mixed flow traffic on Copper Avenue (westbound from 1 st Street to 10 th Street), Gold Avenue (eastbound from 8 th Street to 1 st Street), and Central Avenue from Broadway Boulevard to 1 st Street. No major reconstruction to the streets will occur in this area.

Rapid vehicles will operate in the inside traffic lane in mixed flow from 98 th Street to Coors Boulevard, and from Louisiana Boulevard to Tramway Boulevard. Queue jumps will be provided at signalized intersections in these segments.
Construction of stations within the roadway median and/or street curbside. Stations will typically consist of concrete platforms approximately 65 feet long and 10 to 14 feet wide. The platforms will be elevated 6 to 14 inches above the pavement to allow for level boarding from the ART station to the rapid vehicle. In addition to the platform, stations will include a ticket vending machine and an overhead canopy to shield passengers from sun and precipitation. Other passenger amenities such as benches, an information kiosk, trash receptacles, and security lighting may also be provided. (NOTE: STATIONS WILL BE BID IN A SEPARATE BID PACKAGE

Corridor construction is organized into to five (5) Segments with shorter lengths of areas of work named “Reaches” within the Segments.
