Has anyone used US 84/285 freeway north os Santa Fe to Pojuaque? It is real pleasure to drive on,with Indian names on the overpasses, ( each overpass has a unique Tewa name on the overhead part of the overpass). The sound barrier walls have animal designs as well. It goes past a huge new casino here called the Buffalo Thunder, which opened last summer.
Bickendan:
I've been on it, but it was several years ago.
J N Winkler:
I have been on it multiple times and actually managed to obtain a partial set of construction plans for it. The bridge designs are a particular treat.

This is the second non-Interstate highway in New Mexico to have a 75 mph speed limit (the first being US 70 through White Sands).

That is such a lonely highway. There is absolutely nothing in that stretch. It looks like someone tried once upon a time to operate a gas station along there, but it failed.
