SILVER CITY –A Hot-In-Place Recycling project will begin along US 180 just west of Silver City, NM.
Hot-In-Place Recycling (HIR) utilizes a specialized machine in which 100% of the asphalt in place is recycled. The asphalt is removed, crushed, rejuvenated, and replaced onto the roadway, restoring flexibility and quality of the asphalt material. This process reduces environmental impacts, speeds up timelines and reduces the cost of roadway miles maintained.
Starting, Wednesday, April 2, 2025, traffic can expect lane closures beginning at milepost 87 (Riverside) to milepost 110 (2 miles west of Silver City). A pilot car operation will be in place, please reduce your speed, obey traffic control devices and expect delays. Work will take place Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Construction is expected to be completed by May 31, 2025, weather pending.

According to GRMC Townhall organizer, District 4 Commissioner Eddie Flores, about 40 people showed up at the Grant County Administration Building Commission Chambers to speak about their experiences at Gila Regional Medical Center.
"The comments were surprisingly mixed," he said. "Some spoke of negative experiences, from a misdiagnosis to HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) violations or being treated in a hallway. Others spoke of the great care they had received in the hospital, from registration to doctors and nurses."
