Secon and the DOT&PF will begin implementing traffic restrictions on Monday, April 6, for the Egan Drive Project by shutting down operation of the Whittier Street traffic signal.  Please note this work is weather dependent and may be delayed.

• Initially the Whitter signal will be in “flashing mode” indicating motorists traveling inbound and outbound on Egan to use caution, and motorists on Whittier to stop and then proceed with caution through the intersection.
• Once traffic control devices are in place, the signal will be non-operational through September.  
•  Traffic controls will be in place on Egan Drive between 12th Street and Willoughby Avenue reducing traffic lanes to one lane in each direction.
• Left turns will be restricted on-to or off-of Egan Drive after 10th Street to Willoughby Avenue to ensure the best possible flow of traffic through the work zone.
• Pedestrian access will be maintained on the mountainside of Egan.

 
Additional traffic restrictions will be implemented soon to restrict left turns after 10th Street to Ferry Way; updates regarding those changes will be provided as soon as possible.

​The safety of the traveling public and our workers is our main concern. 
Please follow designated traffic revisions, posted pedestrian routes, and never enter a work zone.

SECON and the DOT&PF will be performing electrical work on the traffic signals at both the Main Street intersection and the Whittier Street intersection from Wednesday, December 18, through Thursday, December 19. Work will be performed on one signal at a time. This work will be performed between 8:30am and 4:00pm and will require single-lane closures.

• The traffic signals will not be operational when work is being performed. 
• Traffic controls will be in place near the intersections when work is being performed, reducing lanes traffic lanes to one lane in each direction.
• Left-turns on-to and off-of Egan will be restricted at both intersections; only right-turns on-to Egan will be permitted at the traffic signals while traffic controls are in place.
• Protected pedestrian access will be shifted between the two intersections when single-lane closures are in place.

The safety of the traveling public and our workers is our main concern. 
Please follow designated traffic revisions and never enter a work zone.

The Egan Drive Project is shutting down for the winter season.  

SECON & the DOT&PF would like to thank the community for your patience and cooperation this construction season.
  
Some non-ground disturbing work will continue in November and December, which may require minor traffic revisions. Public updates will be provided as often as possible during those times.
 
Regular construction activities will resume in the Spring of 2020.
Happy Holidays from SECON and the DOT&PF!
 

Over the weekend, the right-turn pocket onto the Douglas Bridge in front of Juneau Electronics and the Marine Exchange will be closed. Right-turns on-to the Bridge will be allowed via the straight-through lane on inbound Egan. Larger vehicles needing to take right-turns on-to the Bridge should detour around the work zone and access the Bridge via the straight-through lane on 10th Street. Normal bridge access will resume by Monday, October 21st. 
All other traffic controls will remain in place between West 12th Street and the Ramada Inn:

• Traffic controls will be in place on Egan between West 12th Street and the Ramada Inn, shifting inbound and outbound traffic to the mountainside lanes on Egan, and reducing traffic lanes to one lane in each direction.
• Inbound traffic will remain shifted to the outbound fast lane of Egan Drive.
  
• Outbound traffic will remain shifted to the outbound slow lane of Egan Drive.
  
• Left-turns on-to 12th Street and 10th Street on inbound Egan will be open.
  
• Left-turns on-to and off-of the Douglas Bridge will be open.
  
• Access to 8th Street and 9th Street, near the Department of Labor, Cycle Alaska, and the Juneau Hotel, will remain open.
  
• Left-turns on-to and off-of Egan will be restricted at 8th and 9th streets and Glacier Avenue.
  
• Motorists needing to access outbound Egan from 8th and 9th streets must take a right turn onto inbound Egan and travel to Whittier Street to take a left turn and continue to the signalized 10th Street and Egan intersection. Alternatively, motorists may continue on inbound Egan to the traffic circle near the Downtown Public Library to make a permitted U-turn onto outbound Egan.
  
• During this time, there will also be pedestrian closures on the waterside of the 10th Street and Douglas Bridge intersection and a pedestrian detour under the Douglas Bridge. Access to all businesses and the Whale Park will be maintained during construction. ​

The safety of the traveling public and our workers is our main concern. 
Please follow designated traffic revisions, posted pedestrian routes,
and never enter a work zone.
 

The traffic shift between 12th Street and the Ramada Inn has been delayed. An update as to when the shift will take place will be provided as soon as possible. Secon and the DOT&PF appreciate your patience during this time.
