• The northbound and southbound inside lanes of Date Street will be closed in the project area. One lane of traffic will remain open in each direction.

Motorists are encouraged to use extra caution in the construction zone, obey lower posted speed limits and allow extra time to reach their destinations.

Regular work hours will be 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday although the contractor may work longer hours or on weekends as needed.
Access will be maintained to all businesses during construction.

About the Project: The project is designed to improve sight distances at turnouts and intersections, address speed issues, provide connectivity for pedestrians and bicyclists and improve drainage. The project includes a roundabout at NM 181. Construction is expected to be completed by April 2024.
