PROJECT ONGOING AS SCHEDULED
Contractor: EMCO of Santa Fe: Project Ongoing But Delayed
Location: Agua Fria & South Meadows
Description: This project was initiated in response to residents’ requests to address failing traffic signals at the intersection of Agua Fria and South Meadows, driven by rapidly changing land use in the area. The project includes intersection upgrades, new traffic signals, and added turning lanes to improve safety, traffic flow, and achieve NMDOT Level of Service (LOS) A, which represents the highest standard for minimizing delays and congestion. Construction has taken longer than originally anticipated, and we sincerely apologize for the extended timeline. Delays are primarily due to long lead times for specialized signal equipment that must be custom-manufactured, along with broader supply-chain challenges and tariff impacts.
Traffic Closure Notice – Agua Fria & South Meadows
We’re excited to share that we’re entering the final and most anticipated phase of the traffic signal improvement project at Agua Fria & South Meadows! This last step brings us very close to completing the project and delivering a safer, more efficient intersection for everyone.
To allow a large drilling machine to complete the foundations for the new traffic signal mast arms, the intersection of Agua Fria & South Meadows will be closed in all four directions for approximately 2 days (Saturday and Sunday, March 14- 15).
Detour Routes:
Northbound & Eastbound Traffic:
Airport Rd → Rufina St → Jemez Rd
Southbound Traffic:
Alameda Frontage Rd → Caja Del Oro Grant Rd → Agua Fria St
Westbound Traffic:
Jemez Rd → Rufina St → Airport Rd → San Felipe Rd
Please follow all posted construction signage and consider using alternate routes during this time.
We understand detours can be inconvenient, and we truly appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete this important improvement. Your support is helping us bring this project across the finish line and enhance safety and traffic flow for the entire community.
Thank you for helping us make this final phase a success!
