I 40 from Gallup to Albuquerque
Currently traveling on our west trip and considering using 491 out of Cortez CO to I40 in Gallup and then taking I40 to I25. Have heard some bad stories about construction and travel delays along I40...

So people pulled into the campground on the West side of Albuquerque a couple days ago and said they sat for over 3 hrs about 30 mile West of Alb because of an acident. Later saw on the news 4 people were killed. Just be careful in the construction zones
Yep, multi hour delays or crawling at single digit MPH on side roads is common on some of the western roads; interstates included.
Because of my size, I'm often able to retreat from a bad mess and head down back roads or trails. Or if necessary, just find some out of the way spot to hold up. I don't like being in the crowd as people have this belief that my bathroom and water tanks should becomes communal during a standstill.
