N.M. 4 Improvements Project
Traffic continues to be switched to one lane of traffic on each side of the road. Expect traffic control changes as the contractor prepares to place the last layer of pavement treatment, which will depend on weather. The speed limit within the construction area is 30 mph. Please drive defensively and watch for construction vehicles.
Pavement Preservation Program
Starting on Monday, work will begin on Cheryl Court, followed by Cheryl Avenue, and then Connie Avenue. Each street should take 2-3 days, depending on weather. Flyers will be distributed 48 hours in advance of work beginning in the immediate area. Please ensure that all vehicles are parked off-street. Expect flagging operations, minor delays, and typical construction activity.
Other White Rock streets included in this year’s program include Kilby, Donna, Garver, Canada Way, Barcelona, Rover from Carlsbad to Grand Canyon, Aragon west of Rover, Azure, and possibly Shirlane. In Los Alamos – Range Road and North Mesa Road from Hawk Drive to just east of the Posse Lodge. If you live on any of these streets, please watch for your 48 hour notice.

RMCI is also working on 15th Street, requiring the closure of 15th Street between Trinity Drive and Deacon Street, as well as reducing traffic between Deacon Street and Central Avenue to two lanes of traffic. Pedestrians will be detoured around the construction area. Access to area businesses will be maintained. The 15th Street detour will be Knecht Street; other alternatives motorists may want to consider are 20th Street or Oppenheimer. Flagging operations on 15th near Deacon will continue as needed in order to allow equipment to access the work area. The work on 15th Street is expected to be complete on or before July 28.
4th Street between Central Avenue and Canyon Road continues to be closed to through traffic. Residential access will be maintained.
