3D Visualizations
One of the challenging aspects of civil engineering is communicating to stakeholders, property owners, and the public at large, about how a project may look when it’s completed and how it may impact the overall environment. A fully-immersive 3D environment is often the best way to do this.
Pueblo Alto / Mile Hi Green Stormwater Infrastructure Phase IIIA
Location: Albuquerque, NM
The Pueblo Alto & Mile Hi Drainage Study Project was created to address flooding issues in Albuquerque neighborhoods. It focuses specifically on drainage problems south of Constitution Avenue to Lomas Boulevard, between San Pedro Drive and Washington Street. We created this visualization to show the residents of the neighborhood and the public at large what the neighborhood will potentially look like after the project is completed.

Border Highway Connector
Location: Sunland Park, NM
The Border Highway Connector would be a new roadway alignment extending between the existing NM 136 (Pete V. Domenici Blvd) corridor to the existing NM 273 (McNutt Rd). The study is looking at potential corridor alternatives to improve the connection between the Santa Teresa Port of Entry on NM 136 to the City of Sunland Park and beyond to regional destinations.

I-40 29.7 Drainage and Bridge Improvements
Location: Gallup, NM
Near MP 29.7 on I-40 in McKinley County, the three bridges over the South Fork Puerco River neither accommodate predicted 50- and 100-year stormwater events nor meet NMDOT drainage design criteria. Both of the interstate bridges and the NM 118 bridge have been studied and determined to be undersized and needing replacement. The NMDOT currently has a project underway to design the new bridges needed to accommodate future large-storm events (as well as roadway and drainage improvements) and become facilities that can serve the greater transportation corridors of I-40 and NM 118 for years to come.

NM 14 / NM536 / Frost Rd. Intersection Reconstruction
Location: Sandia Park, NM
The NM 14 / NM 536 / Frost Rd. project purpose is to reduce congestion, improve driver expectations, improve access spacing, and consider multi-modal opportunities. This project is current under construction.

4th Street Revitalization Roundabout
Location: Albuquerque, NM
The 4th Street Revitalization project is a collaborative effort between the Village of Los Ranchos and the Bohannan Huston team that seeks to improve the area from Pueblo Solano to north of Ortega Road. The Phase 2 improvements include a more navigable roadway with one lane in each direction, a new roundabout at El Pueblo to improve traffic flow, and intersection upgrades that will facilitate movement around the area. The goal of these improvements is to create a safer, more welcoming environment for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, and to enhance the identity of 4th Street.

Sunport Blvd. Extension
Location: Albuquerque, NM
The long-awaited completion of the Sunport Blvd. Extension – I-25 to Broadway closes a significant gap in the transportation network of Albuquerque’s busy South Valley. The project included the reconfiguration of the I-25/Sunport Interchange and the extension of the roadway. It improves the overall roadway system by balancing traffic volumes and alleviating congestion and enhances transportation and multimodal connectivity by improving access to economic areas, expanding and improving multimodal facilities, and providing redundancy in the transportation system. Bohannan Huston, Inc.’s comprehensive team of roadway, structural, traffic, surveying, environmental, utility, geotechnical, and construction experts worked together with the client, Bernalillo County, the public, and other stakeholders to provide a safe and complete transportation project.

Upper La Cueva Neighborhood Drainage Project
Location: Albuquerque, NM
Bernalillo County contracted with Bohannan Huston, Inc. (BHI) to complete a study of the Upper La Cueva Watershed with the objective of developing potential watershed improvements to provide regional sediment capture, and water quality improvements.
Based on the watershed study and project objectives the following Upper La Cueva Watershed improvements are currently being designed to include: 1. Two new detention, sediment capture, and water quality ponds along the South La Cueva Arroyo between Lowell Drive and Opal Jewell Drive. 2. A new storm drain from the downstream proposed pond to just downstream of the intersection of Browning Street and Signal Avenue.

Bohannan Huston New Denver Office
Location: Denver, CO
In 2023, we relocated our Denver office which required a new build-out and revamp of an existing office space in the new business complex. We created a model of the new office and 3D visualization to show the owners and staff of Bohannan Huston.
New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) Campus Improvements
Location: Santa Fe, NM
The NMDOT is currently in the process of revamping their campus in Santa Fe, NM. We helped to generate some 3D renders of the proposed project.
NM 136 Interchange Feasibility Study – McNutt Road
Location: Santa Teresa, NM
The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) has initiated the Phase I-A/B Study for NM 136 between milepost 0.0 (Santa Teresa Port of Entry) to milepost 9.2 (New Mexico/Texas State Line) (CN E100430). The Phase I-A/B Study will be prepared in accordance with the latest edition of the NMDOT Location Study Procedures: A Guidebook for Alignment and Corridor Studies and the latest edition of the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Guidelines. For readability and to support public awareness, this study will be referred to as the NM 136 Interchange Feasibility Study.

University Ave Multimodal Project
Location: Lac Cruces, NM
The project is for roadway and drainage improvements for the University Ave (NM101) Multimodal Project. This project will enhance the existing two-lane roadway from Avenida de Mesilla to S. Main Street. The corridor is highly used by pedestrians and bicycles with access to Zia Middle School, local neighborhoods, and as a gateway to connect the Town of Mesilla, City of Las Cruces, and New Mexico State University.

I-10/NM 404 Interchange Exit 162 – Direct Connectors Phase A/B Study
Location: Lac Cruces, NM
The I-10/NM 404 Interchange is a regionally critical facility serving in the New Mexico and Texas transportation networks. The NMDOT has been pursuing a phased approach to maintaining the facility and expanding its capacity, and for years Bohannan Huston has been directly involved to assist. We look forward to continuing
to support the Department on the current project that will ultimately see the implementation of free-flow, direct-connect ramps between these two major roadways.
For this Phase A/B Study, BHI and Molzen Corbin have teamed up to provide the Department with the best team to complete this study as well as future phases beyond.
I-25 and US 64/87 Interchange Reconstruction
Location: Raton, NM
Based on the analysis included in the Phase I-A/B Alignment Study, feedback from stakeholders and the public, and discussions with the NMDOT, the preferred alternative
(Alternative 6) is to incorporate a new bridge and reconfigure as a tight diamond interchange. This alternative offers the most feasible interchange with no ROW impacts and minimal construction risks. These reasons, combined with the familiarity to drivers and the high percentage of non-local traffic interchange usage, make it the safest option. Adding
signals and removing the loop ramp allows for more standardized traffic patterns and familiarity for non-local drivers and best mitigates the previous backups being experienced on the ramps. The configuration also provides for maximum spacing between the frontage road system and the interstate ramp system.
