COUNTY News:

Delivery of the Los Alamos Switchgear Substation (LASS) is delayed, according to officials with the Los Alamos Department of Public Utilities.

The large oversize load, arriving on two commercial semi-trucks will arrive in the early afternoon Friday, March 2, rather than in the morning as stated previously.

Traffic on East Jemez Road, also known as the Truck Route, will be impacted for approximately 20 minutes to allow the west traveling semi-trucks to cross traffic to enter the area behind the Eco Station.

Flaggers on the Truck Route will be stationed and traffic control devices will be placed east of the Eco Station through the turn off to the Los Alamos National Laboratory guard station entrance.

DPU estimates that it will take approximately 20 minutes for the semi-trucks to leave the LANL inspection station, travel west on East Jemez Road, and cross east-bound traffic lanes to deliver the LASS on a prepared pad, behind the Eco Station.

Once delivered, all traffic control devices will be removed and traffic returned to normal.
