Construction on Front Street will continue this week with concrete pours. Two-inch rock has been placed on the roadway as the street starts to take shape.
Work on storm drains will continue on the Seward Street/Front Street intersection this week. As this work progresses, traffic flow will be altered and the right hand turn from Seward Street onto Front Street will be closed. When this occurs, traffic coming through this intersection will be able to continue down Seward Street. This switch should occur in the next few days.
Starting Wednesday or Thursday, work will begin on the other side of the Franklin Street/Front Street intersection. Traffic from South Franklin will be routed onto Front Street when this occurs and North Franklin Street will be closed to traffic at Front Street.
Pedestrian access to North Franklin Street will be maintained during this work, but pedestrians should watch for marked routes. The City and Borough of Juneau expects the North Franklin traffic closure to last approximately two weeks. Due to this traffic revision, Capital Transit will suspend bus service up Franklin Street starting on Monday. Service will resume after this work is complete.
Contact CBJ engineer Lori Sowa at 586-0875 with any questions, or come to the Tuesday morning meeting, 9 a.m. at the Heritage Café in the Baranof Hotel.
