History


The road was constructed in 1960s as a connector between old US 85 and a newly constructed I-25 and was designated as part of the New Mexico State Road 28. In 1988 the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) went through a radical road renumbering program, which also included elimination of US 85 in New Mexico. As part of this reorganization, the road through Rincon was designated as NM 157.
