Bartlett Regional Hospital Parking Survey Open Through August 11

Have you recently visited the Bartlett Regional Hospital campus, including Wildflower Court? CBJ Engineering & Public Works is currently exploring parking and access improvements to the Bartlett Regional Hospital and Wildflower Court campus and wants to hear from you. Whether you’re a patient, employee, caregiver, or visitor, you are invited to complete a brief online survey about parking options at BRH, including capacity, price, location, and ideas for improvements. The survey is open through Friday, August 11, 2023.

An initial survey was conducted in spring 2023, and this follow-up survey builds on those responses. Whether or not you took the previous survey, you are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to share information on parking experiences and give feedback on proposals to improve access to the BRH campus.

Take the survey online now through August 11.

For more information about the project, contact CBJ Project Manager Jason Hoffbauer at jason.hoffbauer@juneau.gov or (907) 586-0800 ext. 4191.

Seward Street Stairway Repairs Begin This Week

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].

Update on Calhoun Avenue Phase II Reconstruction

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.

For more information, contact CBJ Project Manager John Nelson at (907) 957-2187 or [email protected], Admiralty Construction at (907) 780-3555, or proHNS Project Engineer Chris Bydlon at (907) 780-4004 or [email protected]. To be added to the project email list please contact Chris Bydlon.

Basin Road Trestle Open to Pedestrian and Vehicle Traffic

The Basin Road Trestle Bridge is now open to all traffic following successful structural repairs.

The trestle was closed to vehicle traffic in early 2023 following a rock slide. Additional repairs to the guardrail will take place later this year.

CBJ Engineering and Public Works appreciates the patience and understanding of the public during the repair process for this popular roadway.
