Crews are making progress on the water main and service lines.
The project team is working on plans to install a large waterline under US 160 next week which would complete that work around 2nd Street. More details on that operation will be shared on Friday, June 20.
Electrical work continues in the 100 to 300 blocks. This work encompasses installation of conduit for sidewalk lighting and flashing crosswalk signage, as well as a multi-duct conduit for future CDOT and Town of Pagosa communications.
Work continues on storm drain installation on 4th Street.
The 2nd and 4th Street intersections on the north side of US 160 will remain closed until utility and drainage work is complete.
The overflow parking lots that the Town of Pagosa Springs has worked so hard on are now open.
We’d like to thank Visit Pagosa, the Town of Pagosa and the Cone Zone for their continued collaboration on ways to increase signage to help pedestrian movements throughout downtown.
Watch Where You Walk!
Pedestrian crosswalks are open at 1st, 3rd and 4th Streets. Mid-block crossings between 4th and 5th are closed, but the crosswalk at 5th Street will remain open.

Safety tips for pedestrians
- Watch where you are going. Do not enter the work zone or climb over work zone safety barriers. Construction work may be fascinating, but always prioritize navigating the work zone as safely as you can.
- Pay attention to posted signs in the project area and follow all workers’ instructions. Cross streets at open crosswalks or intersections; walk on sidewalks whenever they are available.
- Be alert for moving construction vehicles and other unexpected hazards, which often move suddenly and quickly. Stay off your phone when crossing the street or walking near the work zone.
- Look out for traffic before crossing the street make eye contact with drivers so you know they see you.
Safety tips for drivers
- Look out for pedestrians and bicyclists everywhere, at all times, and especially in areas near schools, parks, shopping areas and transit stops.
- Slow down as you approach the work zone. Give workers extra room and be prepared to stop.
- Stop before a crosswalk, not in it.
- Obey all traffic signals. All light signals are operational and must be obeyed.
- Put your cellphone down. Never drive distracted or impaired.
