COUNTY NEWS RELEASE
West Road from Diamond Drive to Fairway Drive in Los Alamos will be closed to traffic in both directions all day Tuesday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., while water distribution crews from the Los Alamos Department of Public Utilities (DPU) repair a large water leak.
During that time, West Road will be closed to semi-trucks between Fairway Drive and NM502. Anyone else wishing to drive on that portion of West Road will need to detour through Western Area using Trinity Drive, 43rd Street, and Fairway Drive to access it.
At this time, DPU’s crews do not expect this repair to require any water disruptions for the properties near the leak.
