HIGHWAY 160 RECONSTRUCTION: Changing Downtown Traffic Patterns This Week

Concrete travel lanes have been poured and cured and traffic will shift from the south side of US Highway 160 to the north side Wednesday of this week, June 3.

Traffic Shift: Motorists can expect traffic patterns to change as vehicles will be shifted onto the northside of US 160 (Pagosa Street) beginning Wednesday, June 3.

Hot Springs Boulevard Intersection
The team is planning on closing access to Hot Springs Boulevard (south side of the intersection to the bridge) to make utility and paving improvements in conjunction with the Town of Pagosa Springs. This closure is anticipated to take place between June 3-18.

Overlook Parking Lot
During the same closure of Hot Springs, the team is planning on closing the Overlook Parking lot for utility updates. The closure is expected from June 3-18, and the Town of Pagosa Springs will be promoting alternative parking options in the lot near the old Courthouse building off of 5th Street.

Pedestrian Crossings
With the new traffic shift there are several locations that no longer have pedestrian barriers where the sidewalks, curb and gutter have been completed. Please pay attention when traversing the roadway and use identified crossings.
