Beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, June 8th, Secon and the DOT&PF will be installing a bridge membrane and paving the Gold Creek Bridge area. Traffic changes will be similar to the previous week, requiring single lane closures. This work is extremely weather dependent and may shift as necessary.  Pedestrian access will be maintained on both sides of Egan. 

Expected traffic changes:

• Traffic controls will be place between 12th Street and Whittier Street.
• Single lane closures at the Gold Creek Bridge area, from Glacier Avenue to Whittier Street. Lane closures will shift between slow and fast lanes as work progresses. 

​
Once paving is complete, permanent striping will be placed throughout the project corridor. Minor traffic revisions may be in place during this time. 

Beginning Tuesday, June 1st, Secon and the DOT&PF will begin work at the Gold Creek Bridge. Work will start by 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. Pedestrian access will be maintained on both sides of Egan.

​Expected traffic changes:

• Traffic controls will be place between 12th Street and Whittier Street.
• Single lane closures at the Gold Creek Bridge area, from Glacier Avenue to Whittier Street. Lane closures will shift between slow and fast lanes as work progresses. 

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.
