Week of Oct. Oct. 26-31
Work activity
Note: The forecast continues to call for inclement weather; all project work is weather dependent. Crews will work weekends (including Sundays) as needed, especially when work cannot be completed during the weekdays, due to inclement weather.
• 6th Street intersection: This intersection is closed until U.S. 160 lanes are paved west of McCabe Creek.
• 5th Street intersection: Starting Oct. 26, 5th Street will be closed for the Town of Pagosa Springs to continue geothermal utility work and intersection paving for the coming week(s). Alternative delivery access for businesses on 5th Street will be through the liquor store parking lot. Crews will be continuing utility work at this location as well as planned asphalt paving operations as a part of the Town of Pagosa Springs work.
• 7th Street intersection: Crews are prepping the south side of the 7th Street intersection for paving operations this week if weather permits. Please note that pedestrians and vehicles should utilize 5th Street and Lewis Street, and 8th Street as alternatives to cross U.S. 160.
• 8th-10th streets : The south side of 8th through 10th streets is planned for milling operations and asphalt pouring the week of Oct. 26. 8th Street will remain open until the south side of 7th is reopened, at which point 8th Street will be closed.
• Harman Park and Piedra Road: Work continues at this intersection, with work hours between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. daily. Crews are continuing to form and pour sidewalks, with planned island demolition and replacement in the coming week(s). We ask that drivers slow down and please allow extra time to get through the work zone.
• Pedestrian safety: Pedestrian crosswalks are open at 2nd, 3rd, Hot Springs, mid-block at 4th, Lewis, 6th and 8th. Our team continues to see pedestrians jaywalking and crossing at unsafe locations. Our work zone is active in several locations and we want to keep everyone safe. Please observe marked crossing locations.
