Subdivision Road Construction in Los Lunas, NM
Local and collector streets for new residential development — designed and constructed under one NM CID license (#385363) to Village of Los Lunas Development Code and Public Works standards.
Subdivision Streets Built for Los Lunas Growth
Los Lunas continues to grow along the I-25 corridor, NM 6, Main Street, and expanding residential areas. New subdivisions require full street improvements — subgrade preparation, base course, hot-mix asphalt, curb and gutter, sidewalks, and drainage — built to Village of Los Lunas Development Code and Public Works standards. Functional classification (local, collector, arterial) guides section design. At roughly 4,860 feet elevation, monsoon storms and freeze-thaw cycles demand proper compaction and drainage. As a licensed contractor serving Los Lunas, we construct subdivision local and collector streets that meet Development Services review, testing requirements, and long-term performance expectations.

Village Development Code & Street Classification
New public and private streets must conform to the Village of Los Lunas Development Code and Public Works design criteria. Functional classification — local, collector (major and minor), and arterial — defines intended function, access control, and typical section. Private streets in certain districts must meet the requirements and standards of the Village Development Process Manual.
Subgrade, Base & Asphalt Construction
Construction follows Village standards for earthwork, aggregate base, and hot-mix asphalt placement. Subgrade preparation and compaction (typically 95% maximum density) with moisture control are required. Testing is coordinated with Village-approved labs and submitted for review.
Development Review & Public Works Coordination
New subdivision roadway improvements are reviewed by Development Services and Public Works. Work in public right-of-way requires permits. Curb cuts and driveway aprons are coordinated with Public Works under Municipal Development Standards. We handle plan review, permits, and inspection under our NM CID license.
Monsoon Drainage & High-Desert Climate
Los Lunas experiences intense monsoon storms. Positive drainage, proper cross-slope, and storm-water coordination are critical so new streets do not pond or erode. Freeze-thaw cycles also require durable sections and quality compaction for long-term performance.
How Subdivision Road Construction Projects Run in Los Lunas
A clear process designed around Village of Los Lunas Development Code, Public Works standards, and Development Services review.
Project Scope & Classification
We review the development plan, roadway functional classification, traffic data, and Village typical section requirements, then define the full local and collector street scope under our NM CID license.
Design Coordination & Plan Package
Plans are developed or coordinated to Village Development Code and Public Works criteria. Submittals go through Development Services review; traffic impact analysis is coordinated when required.
Permits, Approvals & Pre-Construction
We secure required infrastructure and right-of-way permits, confirm material sources and testing protocols, and schedule work around development phasing and Village inspection windows.
Earthwork, Base, Paving & Testing
Crews prepare subgrade, place and compact base course, install curb and gutter and drainage, place hot-mix asphalt, and perform or coordinate density and related tests per Village requirements.
Inspection, Acceptance & Close-Out
Punch list, final inspections, testing documentation, and coordination for Village acceptance of dedicated roadways. Clear handover for the developer or owner.
Our Albuquerque headquarters is approximately 30 minutes north via I-25, allowing reliable mobilization and consistent project supervision for Los Lunas subdivision sites.
