McKinley County

The McKinley County Roads Department opened a newly completed section of Superman Canyon Road (CR43A) this week. The 2-mile stretch replaces a badly eroded section that could not be improved because of archaeological sites in the area. Funding for the project was provided through the New Mexico Department of Transportation’s Transportation Improvement Program.

Construction crews pour concrete at Red Rock Park on Friday morning for new restrooms being built on the east side of the main arena. As part of McKinley County’s commitment to improving the park, crews are working to complete the new facility in time for the summer event season. The building will replace outdated restrooms previously located at the site and provide increased capacity for visitors. Funding for the project was provided through the Regional Recreation Centers & Quality of Life grant from State of New Mexico.

The McKinley County Sheriff’s Department is officially opening the doors to its newly renovated facility today, Tuesday, Feb. 17!

Located at 1000 E. Aztec Avenue in Gallup, the new 14,000-square-foot building nearly doubles the size of the previous location and provides:

✅ Expanded office and storage space
✅ A new workout facility
✅ An on-site specialized training simulator
✅ A safer, more modern workspace for our deputies and staff

An open house for the public will be announced soon — we look forward to welcoming the community into our new space!
