The Calhoun Avenue & W. 7th Street intersection will be closed to vehicle traffic beginning Saturday, August 5 through Sunday, August 6.

During this closure, Indian Street and portions of W. 7th Street and W. 8th Street will be temporarily opened to two-way traffic. See the attached map for details of the revised traffic pattern. Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the project zone, including the Willoughby stairs and overpass.

Phase II of the Calhoun Avenue Reconstruction Project is nearing completion and this closure will allow the contractor to prepare for and carry out paving operations. Please note that there will be significant construction traffic and work in the area on Sunday.

Please obey all construction signage and stay alert while in the area to ensure the safety of yourself and others.

The City and Borough of Juneau and Admiralty Construction will begin repairs to the Seward Street Stairs between 5th and 6th Streets late this week.

Parts of the stairway may be impassable at times, though work will progress in sections to retain access to residences along the stairway from one direction, either toward 5th Street or toward 6th Street.  Through traffic should avoid using the stairway during construction and consider alternative routes including Franklin Street or Main Street. Repair work is expected to be complete in 2 to 4 weeks.

For more information please contact CBJ Project Manager Michael Eich at 907-586-0800 ext. 4192 or [email protected].

Carver Construction will begin replacing the damaged railing on the Basin Road Trestle Bridge beginning July 13. Work is expected to take approximately 4 days. The bridge will remain open to vehicles and pedestrians during this time.

The work zone will be clearly marked and fenced during the repairs. Please take caution while crossing the bridge to ensure the safety of all users and workers.

Please contact CBJ Project Manager Jeff Thole at (907) 586-0800 ext. 4193 with any questions regarding this project.

Construction work continues on Calhoun Avenue. CBJ contractor Admiralty Construction is currently demolishing the top inches of the aging structural sidewalk near the Governor’s House end of the project. This task will continue for approximately two more weeks, and the finished product will be a new surface on the sidewalk.

Unfortunately, this work is loud, dirty, and labor-intensive. We understand this phase of the project is an inconvenience to residents of the surrounding neighborhood. However, these sorely needed upgrades—and the work they require—are critical to maintain our shared public infrastructure and keep the area safe, usable, and long-lasting for pedestrians and vehicles alike.

Work is still expected to be completed in early August. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this challenging project.
