All Rite Construction, under contract with Los Alamos County Public Works, has begun demolition of the former Hilltop House hotel and gas station, located at the NM502/Central Ave roundabout. Regular truck traffic will be entering and exiting the project site throughout the duration of the project. 

To keep construction crews and the public safe during the demolition of the Hilltop House, a lane closure, sidewalk closure and detour will be in place near the roundabout on NM502 and Trinity Drive, on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

Motorists traveling westbound on NM 502 will follow a short detour on Central Ave. and use Knecht St. or 15th St. to access Trinity Drive. While motorists traveling eastbound can use Knecht St. or 15th Street to access Central Avenue then continue to NM 502. Sidewalks on the north side of Trinity Drive between the roundabout and DP Road will also be closed for pedestrian safety. Access to businesses and DP Road will be maintained. 

Motorists approaching the roundabout from all directions should use caution, pay attention to roadway signs approaching and within the work zone.

Demolition is expected to be completed by January 2023, weather permitting.
