PROJECT ONGOING AS SCHEDULED
Contractor: EMCO of Santa Fe
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.
The new traffic signals are scheduled to be installed in February. Until that time, a temporary four-way stop will remain in place to maintain safe operations at the intersection. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes when possible. We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding as we complete these important, long-term improvements.
