Albuquerque is at the crossroads of two major interstate highways: I-40 runs from Wilmington, North Carolina (2,908km/1,807 miles east) to Barstow, California (1,094km/680 miles west); I-25 extends from Buffalo, Wyoming (1,384km/860 miles north) to El Paso, Texas (426km/265 miles south).

The city is divided into four quadrants, with I-25 and I-40 intersecting just northeast of downtown, at a junction known as the 'Big I'. Legendary Route 66 or Central Avenue runs east-west through the city, bisecting such prominent neighbourhoods as Old Town, downtown, and the Nob Hill/University District.
