 Project scheduled to be completed in summer of 2022
(NOTE: All work is weather permitting and subject to change without notice.)

On Thursday, March 24, crews will reopen 7 Bar Loop at Westside Blvd. On Monday, March 28, crews will close La Sierrita Rd from Westside to Amaranth Ave for about 1 (one) week, through about April 4, 2022. During this closure, residents will be able to use 7 Bar Loop as a detour (see map).

  • Westbound traffic on Westside Blvd is reduced to one lane between NM 528 and Golf Course Rd.
  • Eastbound traffic on Westside Blvd is reduced to one lane between Golf Course Rd and Grande Blvd. Eastbound traffic on Westside Blvd shifts to the south at Grande Blvd and has two lanes available as well as a dedicated right-hand turn lane to head southbound on NM 528.
  • As of March 24, traffic on 7 Bar Loop is able to turn right and head eastbound on Westside Blvd, but is NOT able to turn left and head westbound on Westside Blvd. Motorists can access westbound Westside Blvd by taking 7 Bar Loop Rd south to Driftwood Ave, heading west on Driftwood Ave, then north on Golf Course Rd. Westbound motorists on Westside Blvd can access La Sierrita or 7 Bar Loop Rd via Golf Course Rd south to Driftwood Ave, then east on Driftwood Ave to 7 Bar Loop Rd.
