IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Westside Blvd Widening Project will go into suspension on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, for about three months so that the Water Authority can install a new raw water transmission pipeline along the south side of Westside Blvd. This work is being done now to minimize the impact homes and businesses along Westside by avoiding having to come back in and tear up newly installed asphalt paving. The Water Authority expects to complete construction in June 2022. After that, the City of Albuquerque will resume construction on this project and expects to complete it in about two months. You will automatically receive updates on the Water Authority project unless you unsubscribe. We apologize for the inconvenience and will work to get all construction in this area completed as soon as possible.
As of yesterday, Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2022, crews opened the dedicated right-hand turn for eastbound traffic on Westside Blvd to head southbound on NM 528.
The following traffic impacts are in place:
Regular work hours are Mon.-Fri., 6:30 a.m.-5 p.m., although the contractor may work longer hours or on weekends if needed. All construction is weather permitting and subject to change without notice.
