The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) is advising motorists to be alert and expect delays as a major construction project gets underway at Paseo Del Norte and Tramway boulevards.
Crews started working Monday to install new traffic signals, add pedestrian access ramps and modify some turn lanes in an effort to improve safety.
The first phase of the project will last about two months, according to an NMDOT news release. Only one lane in each direction will be open on Paseo Del Norte through the intersection.
Drivers are advised to slow down, expect delays and consider alternative routes if any are available. NMDOT is urging the public to exercise caution when traveling through the construction zone and to observe all posted signs and speed limits to ensure safety for both motorists and construction crews.
