The East Aztec Arterial project officially began Monday afternoon with a groundbreaking ceremony at the southwest end of Phase 1B of the project. A large contingent of Aztec and San Juan County officials turned out for the event on a crisp autumn day.
Aztec Mayor Mike Padilla opened by saying that over the years he never wanted to refer to the project as a bypass. He said that even led to a dispute with a previous mayor.
"We have some really important people that are here today that really pushed forward to this project," Padilla said, mentioning city, county, and state officials. “This project aims to protect Main Street of the city of Aztec and get the heavy truck traffic off Main Street.”
