ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Construction of a new 65,000-square-foot casino for the Downs of Albuquerque is delayed.
According to the Albuquerque journal, engineers found some areas where the soil wasn't compacted deep enough to meet standards.
So now it will open a month later than planned in the spring of next year.
Officials say the construction will impact parking at the New Mexico State Fair, which runs Sept. 12-23 at Expo New Mexico.
The new casino is being built in the southeast corner of the Expo property near Central Avenue and Louisiana Boulevard NE.
