COUNTY News:
Los Alamos County Public Works Department is under contract with TLC Plumbing & Utility to start work May 6 on the DP Road Phase II Reconstruction project.
The project on DP Road will start near the Los Alamos Fire Department Training Station on the west end to the end of the road entering TA-21.
The contractor has begun preliminary work such as utility locates, construction staking and setup of staging area and yard.
Hours of Construction:
TLC Plumbing & Utility will work 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday with weekends as needed.
Traffic Impact:
To minimize disruption, TLC Plumbing & Utility crews will notify and coordinate with affected businesses and residents on certain construction logistics, utility upgrades and traffic changes as work progresses.
Beginning May 6th, traffic control work will start with a flagging operation to establish a work zone in the eastbound lane and adjacent parking lot south of DP Road to install multiple utilities. Traffic will be detoured south of the existing parking from a location near the Los Alamos County Fire Station and ending near Franks Supply Company. Flaggers will be available for large vehicle delivery pickup and drop-off and access to TA-21.
Motorists will need to follow the detour signs. The detours will ensure ingress and egress to businesses. Business access points through the construction zone will be limited, however parking and access will be available from the westbound lane of DP Road for ADA parking, private parking, and for pedestrians.
Beginning May 6, parking in the existing lot south of DP Road will no longer be available. Vehicles will need to be relocated to private parking or to the new temporary parking established by the project in the county parcel. The first temporary parking area will be accessible near the Los Alamos County Fire Station, the second will be accessible south of ACE Hardware store.
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.
All questions, concerns or special access needs should be sent to Public Works Department at lacpw@lacnm.us or call 505.662.8150.
The Department of Public Works thanks residents in advance for their cooperation and patience.
