Hoping to ease traffic woes and cut down on accidents, the city of Española is working with two Pueblos on a highway bypass project.

The city has undertaken a $300,000 study to evaluate a relief route to the crowded Riverside Drive. San Juan Pueblo and Santa Clara Pueblo, whose land holdings adjoin the city, are being consulted.

Santa Clara Pueblo owns a casino on property located along Riverside Drive. The highway extends north to San Juan Pueblo and its casino.

The city says it needs an additional to complete its evaluation for a project estimated to cost $20 million.
