Everyone has been asking about the status of the North Diversion Channel Trail construction with regard to the opening of Balloon Fiesta.
Here is what they say on the project site: “The North Diversion Channel Trail project Phase 1 from Indian School Rd NE north to the I-40 underpass is expected to be completed by Saturday October 3, 2026. During the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, October 3–11, cyclists may park at the identified lot and use the designated route shown on the diagram below to access the trail and head north.”
