'''Interstate&nbsp;25''' ('''I-25''') in the US state of [[New Mexico]] follows the north–south corridor through [[Albuquerque, New Mexico|Albuquerque]] and [[Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe]]. It replaced '''U.S. Route&nbsp;85''' ('''US&nbsp;85'''), which is no longer signed, but still exists in route logs sharing most of the I-25 alignment. I-25 starts in New Mexico at an interchange with [[Interstate 10 in New Mexico|I-10]] in [[Las Cruces, New Mexico|Las Cruces]] and extends roughly {{convert|460|mi|km}} before reaching Colorado. I-25 passes through principally rural land through central New Mexico and passes through or near the cities of [[Las Cruces, New Mexico|Las Cruces]], [[Truth or Consequences, New Mexico|Truth or Consequences]], [[Socorro, New Mexico|Socorro]], [[Belen, New Mexico|Belen]], [[Albuquerque, New Mexico|Albuquerque]], [[Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe]], [[Las Vegas, New Mexico|Las Vegas]], and [[Raton, New Mexico|Raton]].

I-25 begins at [[Interstate 10 in New Mexico|I-10]]'s exit&nbsp;144 in Las Cruces (elevation {{convert|4000|ft|m}}),<ref>{{google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&channel=s&q=&ll=32.259483,-106.724453&spn=0.048848,0.080338&z=14&om=1 |title=I-25 at I-10 |access-date=July 7, 2007}}</ref> just south of the [[New Mexico State University]] (NMSU) campus. I-25 is concurrent with [[U.S. Route 85 in New Mexico|US&nbsp;85]] at this point, and carries US&nbsp;85 concurrently for the remainder of its run in New Mexico, save for a {{convert|4|mi|km|adj=on}} through [[Las Vegas, New Mexico|Las Vegas]] where unsigned US&nbsp;85 follows [[Interstate 25 Business (Williamsburg, New Mexico)|Interstate&nbsp;25 Business]] (I-25 Bus., Business Loop&nbsp;15) through the town. Immediately, the Interstate passes east of the NMSU campus, and the next three exits provide access to the city. The first exit is University Avenue, which provides access to NMSU. The final exit in Las Cruces is [[U.S. Route 70 in New Mexico|US&nbsp;70]].<ref>{{google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&channel=s&q=&ll=32.314701,-106.729774&spn=0.195271,0.32135&z=12&om=1 |title=I-25 in Las Cruces |access-date=July 7, 2007 |link = no }}</ref> Upon exiting the city, the speed limit increases by {{convert|10|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} to [[Speed limits in the United States by jurisdiction#New Mexico|{{convert|75|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}]].

Leaving Albuquerque, the {{convert|75|mi/h|km/h|adj=on}} speed limit resumes as the freeway passes through [[Sandia Pueblo]]. After [[Bernalillo]], I-25 passes through four more [[Indian Reservation]]s (from south to north: the Pueblos of [[Santa Ana Pueblo|Santa Ana]], [[San Felipe Pueblo|San Felipe]], [[Santo Domingo Pueblo|Kewa]], and [[Cochiti Pueblo|Cochiti]]). I-25 turns to the northeast and away from the Rio Grande, alongside which it has run from its southern terminus, as it heads toward [[Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe]].<ref>{{google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&channel=s&q=&ll=35.44389,-106.092224&spn=0.752943,1.2854&z=10&om=1 |title=I-25 nearing Santa Fe |access-date=July 7, 2007 |link = no }}</ref> It climbs out of the Rio Grande Valley at a steep hill called [[U.S. Route 66 in New Mexico|La Bajada]] {{convert|11|mi|km}} southwest of Santa Fe.<ref>{{cite book |last = Julyan |first = Robert |title = The Place Names of New Mexico |year = 1998 |publisher = University of New Mexico Press |url = http://www.newmexicohistory.org/filedetails.php?fileID=1191 |edition = 2nd |access-date = February 13, 2013 |quote = La Bajada hill is located {{convert|11|mi|km|disp=sqbr}} southwest of Santa Fe. From 1598, when Spanish colonists trudged beside lumbering oxcarts, to the early 20th century, when American tourists drove Model A automobiles, the steep and abrupt escarpment of La Bajada Hill was a notorious landmark on the road between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. The old route up La Bajada Hill was barely {{convert|1.5|mi|km|disp=sqbr}} long, but it traversed tough volcanic rock; in the 20th century it included 23 hairpin turns and was the scene of countless frustrations and mishaps, from overturned wagons to boiling radiators. Residents of the village of La Bajada (see entry) at the hill's base named a spot on the hill Florida because a truck carrying oranges overturned there. In 1932, a new route up the escarpment was laid out, followed today by I-25, and the original route, {{convert|5|mi|km|disp=sqbr|abbr=on}} N and W, fell into disuse, though a few drivers still attempt it to test their vehicles' toughness. The name La Bajada now is gradually being transferred to the new route. |archive-date = May 27, 2013 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130527090344/http://www.newmexicohistory.org/filedetails.php?fileID=1191 |url-status = dead }}</ref>
