Calhoun Avenue Pedestrian Bridge Closed

The pedestrian bridge and stairs over Calhoun Avenue in Downtown Juneau are now closed following a recent inspection by bridge engineers at the Alaska Department of Transportation. The bridge was built in 1977 and has been determined to have exceeded its useful life. Access to the bridge is closed for safety. Future demolition or replacement decisions are yet to be determined.

Closure signage and barriers were installed Friday, October 9 by the City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ). The public is asked to abide by all posted signage and use an alternative pedestrian route for access to and from Dixon Street.

CBJ MUNICIPAL ELECTION UPDATE – UNOFFICIAL RESULTS AS OF 10/09/2026

The City & Borough of Juneau (CBJ) Election Staff are continuing to process ballots from the October 6, 2026 Regular Municipal Election. Updated preliminary results, including all ballots reviewed, approved, and scanned through Friday, October 9, are now available online: HERE

The updated preliminary results now posted are expected to represent approximately 95% of the total ballot count.

Cure letters

A limited number of voters may have received a cure letter. This just means a quick follow up is required to confirm the identity of the voter matches the ballot before it can be counted. As part of the ballot review process (per CBJ Code 29.07.150), every ballot goes through a standard verification step. This includes checking for a signature and personal identifier and comparing them to the signatures on file with CBJ Elections or the State of Alaska Division of Elections.

If something is missing or doesn’t match our records, a cure letter is sent to give you the opportunity to resolve it. Common reasons include:

Missing signature
A signature that’s significantly different from what’s on file
Missing or incomplete personal identification information (driver’s license number, date of birth, etc.)

This process helps protect individual votes and maintains election integrity while providing the chance to fix the issue.

Voters are encouraged to please check your mail and respond promptly so your vote can be included in the final certified results. Each cure letter will clearly explain what to do. If you have questions, call the CBJ Ballot Processing Center at 907-586-5278 (option 4).

Key Upcoming Dates

October 19–20: The Canvass Review Board meets to finalize and certify the election.
October 20: Official results will be posted (with possible delay of up to three days, if needed).
