Portions of I-25 SB Closed Due to Vehicle Fire, Expect Delays

Albuquerque –

The Albuquerque Police Department and New Mexico State Police have portions of I-25 southbound closed at Montano/Montgomery due to a vehicle fire. Police initially tried to keep lanes open, but heavy smoke from the growing fire reduced visibility.

Albuquerque Fire and Rescue is on scene fighting the fire.

Per NM DOT, “I-25 Southbound at Montgomery has the 2 right lanes closed due to a crash. Expect heavy delays.” Since the fire is nearly extinguished, traffic lane closures may be updated soon.
