Aztec's Main Avenue looking north before it was a paved road.
There was no traffic light at the intersection of Main Avenue and Chaco Street. As you can see there was a flashing yellow caution light at the intersection.
Large cottonwood trees can be seen near the intersection of Chaco Street and Main Avenue on the right side of the photo.

LAST REMINDER
TRAFFIC ALERT
Road 2900 will be closed (the northern part of Ruins Road in Aztec) at milepost 9.8, between March 16 and March 20. This closure is just south of the intersection of US 550 in Cedar Hill.

The road will be closed to through traffic. Residents north of the closure will access their homes from US 550, those south of the closure will reach their homes on Road 2900/Ruins Road from Aztec.

The closure is to replace an irrigation culvert. The closure is scheduled for spring break in an effort to not impact Aztec Municipal School bus traffic and complete the project before irrigation season starts.

There are signs out already, but if you take that route, or plan to, you might need to go another way. We apologize for the inconvenience.
