DP Road Phase II Reconstruction Project Updates
TLC Plumbing & Utility is in its initial ramp up and businesses and visitors will be progressively seeing construction activity ramping up. Parking restrictions began May 6th along the south side of DP Road. TLC is currently performing potholing of existing utilities in this area along the south side of DP Road and is also in the process of creating new parking just south of the ACE Hardware Store. Once the parking area is complete it will be available for parking to the public. This is anticipated within the next week.
Currently Los Alamos County has opened up an additional temporary parking area within the Los Alamos County parcel directly across and south of the Las Alamos Fire Training Academy. This area is available to the public.
Work zone traffic control will be commencing soon. This will include a lane shift going eastbound on DP Road approximately from the Fire Academy property along the work zone to CrossFit Los Alamos Gym. Once traffic control is placed, please follow all work zone signs and exercise caution around the work zone. Flaggers may also be present to direct traffic during certain construction events both east and west bound. Access to businesses will be maintained and westbound traffic from the TA-21 gate to the beginning of the project will be in its current alignment at this time.
Services such as mail delivery, trash and recycling collection, and emergency services will be maintained. Businesses can expect large equipment, and construction noise. Motorists and pedestrians are advised to use caution around construction activities and avoid entering the work zone outside of designated detour paths.
Construction hours are currently Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. All questions and concerns should be sent to the Public Works Department at lacpw@lacnm.us or call 505-662-8150.
