Beginning the week of May 10, 2021, SECON and the DOT&PF will resume work on the Egan Drive Project. Construction activities will occur between 10th Street and Seward Street. Work will be primarily focused at the Gold Creek Bridge, and permanent pavement striping.
​
Initial Gold Creek Bridge work will include removing the bridge deck, which will result in an approximate 2” dip in the pavement. Signs will be posted to alert the traveling public of this change in the road surface.

Traffic will flow through the work zone with one lane open in each direction. Traffic control will be in place from 12th Street to Seward Street to ensure the best possible flow of traffic through the work zone.
​
Pedestrian access will be maintained on one side of Egan or the other. For your safety, please follow pedestrian detour signs. 

Secon and the DOT&PF plan to replace subgrade material and pave Egan Drive from the Seadrome building to Seward Street. The work will take place in two phases, one being implemented and completed after the other. This work is anticipated to begin the morning of Thursday, July 30th, and each phase will take several days. Traffic restrictions and detours will be in place 24-hours per day.  

The following traffic revisions will be in place during the first phase of this work:
