Loma Linda Road Improvements Project
Albuquerque Asphalt, Inc. will continue work on Loma Linda Drive on the west side of the street, removing and replacing targeted drive pad aprons and curb and gutter. On Monday, October 16, Loma Linda Drive will be closed to traffic between the 2205 and 2213 addresses. Residents will be required to utilize La Tierra Road for access through Loma Linda Drive; this closure is scheduled for one week and is necessary to facilitate the installation of new valley gutter.
Field crews will continue marking areas with spray paint before replacing existing concrete driveways, curbs and gutters, and sidewalks. A pink “X” with a date on your driveway apron or concrete adjacent to your property indicates that work will start the next day. Please plan to relocate your vehicle to the opposite side of the street. If your property has multiple driveways, only one entrance will be closed at a given time. Removing and replacing specific concrete items will take approximately 5-6 days, weather permitting. In case of delays due to weather, temporary access will be provided.
The Contractor will ensure ingress and egress to residents’ homes as much as possible and coordinate driveway apron reconstruction. In addition, services such as mail delivery, trash and recycling collection, school bus, and emergency services will always be maintained.
Work hours are 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The project is scheduled for completion in June 2024 with a winter weather suspension period. Questions/comments call James Malcom with the Public Works Department at 505.662.8150 or send an email to lacpw@lacnm.us.
