Heads up, Las Cruces drivers: expect some intermittent lane closures on Golf Club Rd., where you'll need to navigate some detours in early December. The City of Las Cruces announced that there will be activity disrupting traffic flow in the area as crews set out to perform utility work under a wire utility permit. The roadway stretch between Sonoma Ranch Blvd. and Portico Trail, which sits within City Council District 6, is where delays and detours will emerge, starting Thursday, December 4, through Friday, December 19, according to the City of Las Cruces.
The necessary evil of construction work means restricted lanes from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, an attempt to avoid peak hours and weekend traffic. To minimize the inconvenience to locals and commuters, the city has promised no construction action during evenings or weekends. However, road users should prepare for potential delays and are advised to seek alternate routes when possible.
For those living or operating businesses along the affected stretch, breathe easy. The city has confirmed that access to all properties will be steadfastly maintained throughout the duration of this project. In a slight salve to the inevitable headache that comes with road works, these assurances at least hint at a semblance of normalcy.
