Camino de Salud Road Closure Affect Campus Commuters

Camino de Salud, located on the University of New Mexico’s North Campus, east of Yale and south of the loading docks by the Cancer Research and Treatment Center (CRTC), will be closed for approximately five to seven weeks, beginning Monday, March 22, 2004. The planned closure will force UNM traffic on North Campus, including the Health Sciences Center (HSC), to be rerouted. The closure will allow installation of new chilled water lines for North Campus.

Parking will remain open at all nearby parking structures including, CRTC lot 4 and the Office of the Medical Investigator’s lot. Traffic should enter from Yale to access CRTC lot 4 for the OMI and the CRTC. To access all other parking areas, traffic must enter from Lomas. There will be no through traffic from UNM Hospital to Yale or from Yale to the hospital. Traffic must also exit the parking lots/structures utilized via the same route entered.

Pedestrian traffic will remain open in the construction area throughout the closure. Construction signs are posted accordingly to guide pedestrians through the project. All construction areas will be enclosed with fencing and pedestrian and vehicular routes identified with temporary traffic signs. Ramps will be provided at necessary pedestrian crossings.

Copies of the planned vehicular and pedestrian rerouting during the closure are available through the Physical Plant Department (PPD) or on the Internet at: http://www.unm.edu/waytogo/ncds.htm. For a hard copy of the rerouting plans contact Tom Spurkosky or Ray Garcia, PPD Utility Project Team, at 277-9348.
