Rio Rancho roads need cleanup, repairs following heavy rain

RIO RANCHO, N.M. (AP) — Many roads in Rio Rancho require repairs after being washed out, eroded or covered in sediment from runoff following heavy rain that drenched the Albuquerque suburb Thursday night. The Albuquerque Journal (https://goo.gl/ZJ9Kwk ) reports that nearly 40 miles of roads in Rio Rancho need repairs, and officials say cleanup work will continue well into the coming week. City spokeswoman Annemarie Garcia says crews are prioritizing roads based on damage and usage.
