Route Description

NM 47 northbound near Isleta Pueblo, February 2013

NM 47 begins at an intersection with U.S. Highway 60 in rural Socorro County and proceeds northwest, soon entering Valencia County. The route reaches the town of Rio Communities, which soon junctions NM 304. Shortly after, the route junctions NM 309, allowing commuters to cross the Rio Grande to reach Belen. At this junction, NM 47 turns slightly east of north and follows the eastern shore of the Rio Grande, opposite from NM 314. NM 47 soon enters the community of Valencia and junctions NM 263 twice, as NM 263 is a loop road providing access to El Cerro and other communities in the eastern part of the county. NM 47 will terminate NM 263 in the south but simply junction it to the north. NM 47 soon enters the village of Los Lunas and junction NM 6, which it terminates. NM 47 makes a right turn and moves north into the towns of Peralta and Bosque Farms and soon enter the Pueblo of Isleta. It enters Bernalillo County at Isleta Pueblo and continues to the northeast, where it junctions a spur route NM 147, allowing access to Isleta Village, NM 314, and to cross the Rio Grande. It also soon junctions NM 327, an unsigned highway on the edge of the pueblo. NM 47 then junctions Interstate 25 at a system interchange. The route begins to enter the Albuquerque metropolitan area, where it is signed Broadway Boulevard and enters the community limits of the South Valley, where it intersects NM 500 (Rio Bravo Boulevard). Shortly thereafter, it enters the Albuquerque city limits, continuing northeast through the heart of downtown. After crossing Interstate 40, the route turns west onto Candelaria Road to cross the BNSF railroad line. NM 47 then turns back to the north on 2nd Street, which it follows for the rest of its extent. The route passes briefly through the limits of North Valley, in which it intersects NM 423 (Paseo Del Norte) and NM 528 (Alameda Boulevard). The route finally comes to an end at NM 556 (Roy Road) just short of the Sandoval County line.
