UPDATE: Daytime pedestrian access to Basin Road Trestle Bridge has been extended through Wednesday, May 31.

The Basin Road Trestle Bridge will be closed to all traffic including pedestrians between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., seven days a week, from June 1 to June 11 due to structural repair work.

Pedestrian traffic will be allowed during off-work hours with a temporary foot bridge spanning the work zone. There may be periods of full-time closure if work and impacts to structural conditions require it.

During working hours, the Perseverance Trail system will primarily be available on the Flume Trail, accessible from Evergreen Avenue. Be advised that hiking out of the trail system via Basin Road may not be accessible. Please plan your recreational activities accordingly and travel safely.

The Trestle Bridge will remain open to uninterrupted pedestrian traffic only through May 25.

The City and Borough of Juneau Assembly Public Works and Facilities Committee will hold a listening session on Thursday, May 18 from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. to hear from the public about the Juneau Douglas North Crossing route alternatives that have made it through Level 1 screening.

This public meeting is independent of the Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study and is an opportunity for Juneau residents to share their thoughts on the project directly with their local elected officials.

The proposed route alternatives have been refined to the following list:

• Mendenhall Peninsula
• West Sunny Point Area
• Sunny Point Area
• Vanderbilt
• Twin Lakes
• Salmon Creek

The Level 1 Screening memo, which details the screening criteria process and how the alternatives were vetted, can be found on the project website at www.jdnorthcrossing.com. Public testimony will be taken in person in Assembly Chambers. If you wish to give testimony over Zoom, please sign up by 4 p.m. on the day of the meeting by emailing [email protected].
