The bill proposes an appropriation of $350 million from the general fund to the New Mexico Department of Transportation. This funding is designated for the second phase of a road infrastructure project on United States Highway 180, specifically aimed at expanding the highway from two lanes to four lanes between the cities of Bayard and Deming. The allocated funds will be utilized for various purposes including the acquisition of rights of way, planning, design, and construction, as well as to match federal and other state funds.

The appropriation is intended for expenditure over the fiscal years 2026 through 2029, and any unspent funds at the end of fiscal year 2029 will revert back to the general fund. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance transportation infrastructure in the state, improving connectivity and safety for travelers along this critical route.
