Major Road Closures Expected in Santa Fe

St. Michael's Drive and Intersection of Cerrillos Road and St. Francis Drive Impacted

Santa Fe – Contractors will be reconstructing track on St. Michael’s Drive and at the intersection of Cerrillos Road and St. Francis Drive beginning next week.

“No one enjoys sitting in traffic, however these closures are necessary to produce the highest quality crossings that will serve the City of Santa Fe for decades without the need for additional maintenance,” said Transportation Secretary Rhonda Faught. “We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation through this high construction time, and know that it will all pay off in the next four months when the Rail Runner begins running to Santa Fe.”

Beginning Sunday, September 14, St. Michael’s Drive will experience a full nighttime closure from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily through Thursday morning. During the closures, local traffic will be rerouted south to Fifth Street coming from the west and Calle Lorca coming from the east, and north using Calle Lorca or Espincitas from the west.

In addition, the intersection of Cerrillos Road and St. Francis Drive will be partially closed at nights from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. beginning Monday, September 22 through Monday, September 29 for track reconstruction. Street plates will be used to open up for traffic each day. Traffic will be detoured via Cordova Road, Guadalupe Street and Paseo de Peralta.

Message boards and detours will be posted throughout these closures. All information will be posted online at www.nmroads.com. Detour maps have been attached.
