An improvement to the roadway is desired from Philmont Scout Ranch to Springer in northeastern New Mexico. Alternative N (for north) costs $ 2,100,000 initially and $ 160,000/year thereafter. Route SA (for south, Alternative A) will cost $ 4,400,000 initially, and $ 81,000/year thereafter. Route SB is the same as SA with wider lanes and shoulders. It costs $ 5,200,000 initially with maintenance at $ 110,000/year. User costs considering time, operation, and safety are $ 620,000 for N, $ 425,000 for SA, and $ 320,000 for SB. The salvage values for N, SA, and SB after 20 years are 20% of initial cost, respectively.
