Power Line Relocation on Lomas, Aug. 7-11
Beginning August 7 and continuing through August 11, PNM will be relocating a power line along Lomas Blvd. Typical work hours will be Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Periodic Road Closures
    • The relocation project will occur along Lomas Blvd. between Yale Blvd. and Stanford Dr. and will result in periodic lane closures, including short-term, full closures of Lomas in both directions, as needed for worker safety.
  • Minimal Risk of Power Outages
    • The relocation is NOT expected to result in power outages to the hospital or UNM facilities on central and north campuses. However, there is minimal risk of outage in these areas in the event of excessive power loads or other unforeseen circumstances during the relocation process.
  • To mitigate risk, PNM, UNM Facilities Management (FM) Utilities, and UNM Hospital (UNMH) are working collaboratively to prepare and test contingency plans to ensure uninterrupted service.
