Active road construction projects in Santa Fe are causing notable traffic adjustments this month. The Cottonwood-Agua Fria Intersection Improvements Project remains underway, with crews building a new roundabout, dedicated bike lanes, and ADA-compliant sidewalks. Work on the federally funded initiative began August 24 and is slated for completion in May 2027.
Traffic Adjustments Underway
Starting September 8, westbound Agua Fria will be closed at the South Meadows intersection. Drivers are directed to use the detour via South Meadows, Airport Road, and San Felipe Road, while local access for businesses and residences is maintained. The project aims to address aging infrastructure and rising traffic volumes at the site.
Airport Road Efforts Continue
Rehabilitation on Airport Road between Cerrillos Road and NM-599 is ongoing, with work expected through the end of September. Separately, median beautification improvements are beginning on Airport Road from State Road 599 eastward, including four new medians extending to Paseo del Sol West.
Additional Closures Planned
Single-lane closures are scheduled to begin September 14 on Zia Road between Vela and Galisteo as part of the Zia Station Public Infrastructure project. Motorists are advised to exercise caution near work zones across these active sites.
