7/31/19 Project Update

Beginning Thursday, August 1st, Secon and the DOT&PF will shift traffic to the mountainside of Egan Drive. The Whittier Street traffic signal will not be operational.

• Initially the Whittier signal will be in “flashing mode” indicating the intersection is temporarily a four-way stop. This will continue for approximately four hours while workers shift traffic barriers, and then the signal will be non-operational.
• Access to Whittier Street on the waterside of Egan will be closed; motorists and pedestrians will be detoured via Heat Street to the Coast Guard Station, Tracy’s Crab Shack, and the State of Alaska overflow parking lot. Heat Street is the side road that lays in between the Coast Guard Station and the State of Alaska overflow parking lot. 
• All other pedestrian access will be maintained on the mountainside of Egan. For your safety, please follow posted detour routes and do not enter work zones.
• Left turns will be restricted on-to or off-of Egan Drive between Main Street and Whittier Street to ensure the best possible flow of traffic through the work zone.
• Traffic controls will be in place on Egan between Main Street and Glacier Avenue reducing traffic lanes to one lane in each direction.
• All businesses will have access to their establishments and are open regular hours during construction.

 
The safety of the traveling public and our workers is our main concern.  
Please watch for flaggers, follow designated traffic revisions, and posted detours.
