7/5/19 Project Update

Beginning Monday, July 8th, Secon and the Alaska DOT&PF will resume work on the mountainside of Egan Drive between the Ramada Inn and Willoughby Avenue. The Whittier Street and Egan Drive intersection traffic signal will not be operational for the remainder of the construction season.

• 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 until traffic control devices are in place.
• Once traffic control devices are in place, the signal will be non-operational.
• Access to Whittier Street on-to and off-of Egan will be restricted at times. Please follow posted detours.
• Traffic controls will be in place on Egan Drive between Main Street and Glacier Avenue reducing traffic lanes to one lane in each direction.
• Left turns will be restricted on-to or off-of Egan Drive between Main Street and 10th  Street to ensure the best possible flow of traffic through the work zone.
• Pedestrian access will be maintained on the seaward side of Egan Drive.
• Please watch for pedestrian detour signs and utilize the protected pedestrian crossings at Main Street and 10th Street.
