Airport Road Construction Update for the Week of March 9
The City of Santa Fe Public Works Department's Complete Streets Division continues Phase One roadway improvements on Airport Road between Cerrillos Road and NM 599.
This Week's Work
Construction continues at the South Meadows Road and Airport Road intersection, with work taking place on all three southbound lanes of South Meadows Road.
The southbound lanes on South Meadows Road from Rufina Road to Airport Road will be closed due to construction. Traffic will be detoured to Jemez Road. The closure is expected to be in place Monday through Wednesday. Through traffic on the northbound lane of South Meadows Road will remain open.
Asphalt work continues on both the north and south sides of Airport Road, turning and deceleration lanes from Cerrillos Road to Country Club Road. Work will progress segment by segment, with each segment expected to take approximately three to six days to complete, depending on weather and field conditions.
Phase One focuses on the segment from Cerrillos Road to Fairly Road and includes concrete and accessibility improvements, followed by asphalt work as weather conditions allow.
Construction is anticipated to continue through the end of May 2026.
Additional Work
Traffic signal loop detection repairs will take place following pavement striping.
Traffic Impacts
Traffic control will be set up before construction begins, weather permitting.

• Rightmost lane closures on both the north and south sides of Airport Road from Cerrillos Road to Country Club Road.
