Beginning Sunday, June 16th Secon and the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) will shut down operation of the Whittier Street and Egan Drive intersection traffic signal.  This work is weather dependent.

• Initially the signal will be in “flashing mode” indicating the intersection is temporarily a four-way stop. This will continue for approximately six hours until traffic control devices are in place.
• Once traffic control devices are in place, the signal will be non-operational.
• Left turns will not be allowed on-to or off-of Whittier Street.  
• Traffic controls will be in place on Egan Drive between Seward Street and Aurora Harbor reducing traffic lanes to one lane in each direction

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

On March 27, 2019, DOT&PF awarded the Egan Drive Main to 10th Street construction project to SECON for $14.3 million.
​
When completed, improvements to the area will include better pavement, improved pedestrian and bike facilities, widened highway where possible, repaired retaining walls and culverts, and more.

Construction is anticipated to start by mid-June 2019 and run for at least two construction seasons. Summer 2019 activities will focus on the stretch of Egan Drive between Willoughby and Whittier Streets.

During this section of construction, Egan Drive will be reduced to one lane in each direction in select work zones. Traffic control may be in place from Aurora Harbor to Main. No left turns will be allowed between Main Street and Douglas Bridge.

Commuters are encouraged to carpool or adjust their schedules to avoid peak traffic hours during construction.

As soon as the construction schedule is confirmed, SECON and DOT&PF will begin detailed public outreach about specific construction activities and expected impacts.
