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," stated the Santa Fe County Public Works Department.

"Motorists should account for increased travel time, avoid speed, and exercise caution while navigating detours," advised the SFCPWD.

"Work zones pose significant hazards to pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists if breached, emphasizing the need to strictly adhere to safety precautions and traffic control," added the Santa Fe County Public Works Department.

The SFCPWD and the Contractor expressed their regrets for any inconvenience caused and thanked the public for their patience and understanding during the construction.
