THE SANTA FE | NEW MEXICAN
By Tom Sharpe
NEW MEXICO---Artwork proposed for two bridges along N.M. 4 between Jemez Springs and Jemez Pueblo apparently is on track for installation next summer, despite reports that questions were raised about religious symbols in a government-funded project. Historical Passes is to be cast in four concrete panels, each 28 inches by 14 feet, depicting images of corn, spirals and mountains, along with a priest, a mission church and crosses. Construction was expected to begin next March, but it could be delayed because more engineering work is needed to address environmental and utility issues at the sites. The total cost of the project is about $2 million, funded by state and federal sources. The cost of the artwork is about 1 percent, or $20,000. [link]
