Piñon Hills Blvd. Extension

For more than 20 years, the City of Farmington and San Juan County have identified the need for a secondary traffic connection across the Animas River. The Piñon Hills Boulevard Extension fulfills this long-standing goal by linking NM 516/East Main Street to the intersection of County Road 390/Wildflower Parkway and County Road 3900.
The project was originally divided into three phases. Following a 2022 discussion with the New Mexico Department of Transportation, the city’s two phases were combined, streamlining delivery and moving the project efficiently toward completion.
“The Piñon Hills Extension stands as a symbol of Farmington’s bright future,” said Mayor Nate Duckett. “Improved safety, stronger connectivity, and enhanced accessibility all serve our growing community. With the City’s phase of the project completed, this milestone reflects our shared progress, new opportunities, and our commitment to building a thriving Farmington for generations to come.”
Ted Barela, Senior Vice President of Bohannan Huston shared, “Pioneering a project through untouched terrain is rare these days. I am honored to have worked alongside the City of Farmington. NMDOT, AUI and their subcontractors to deliver a high-quality project we can all be proud of. At Bohannan Huston, our Vision is to improve the quality of life for clients, communities, and future generations. Our Mission is to transform client goals into reality through innovative, sustainable solutions and exceptional service. This achievement reflects true teamwork, and the results are evidence of the stakeholders being committed to a common goal.
