Santa Fe, NM- Beginning Monday, April 22, 2024, the Contractor for Santa Fe County Public Works Department (SFCPWD) will begin the construction of the Rabbit Road connection to the Southeast Connector, recently named Falcon Way, and also providing the tie into Oshara Blvd via a new roundabout.  To safely accommodate the construction, it will be necessary to close a segment of Rabbit Road to Oshara Blvd for approximately (6) weeks and route traffic through a temporary detour.  As part of this construction, the contractor is subject to provide adequate traffic control and advance messaging of this closure.

Motorists should account for increased travel time, avoid speed, and exercise caution while navigating detours. Work zones pose significant hazards to pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists if breached, emphasizing the need to strictly adhere to safety precautions and traffic control.

The SFCPWD and the Contractor apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank the public for their patience and understanding during the construction.

For more information and additional safety resources, please contact Mike Hart, Project Manager III at mhart@santafecountynm.gov.
