GLENN HIGHWAY CAPACITY IMPROVEMENT, PHASE II ROAD CONSTRUCTION through the season
Road Closure

Through Thursday, August 29, the Hiland Road Off-ramp, including the southbound slow lane of the highway, will be CLOSED. The ramp will be open for Labor Day weekend.

What You Need to Know
  • Drivers should expect INTERMITTENT SHOULDER CLOSURES between the southbound Eagle River Bridge and Hiland Road, along the Glenn Highway, while crews work on clearing operations.
  • Drivers should expect flagging operations on Eagle View Drive.
Project End Result

The Alaska Department of Transportation, in cooperation with Kiewit, is working to improve the Glenn Highway. Work will include adding a southbound lane to the Glenn Highway between the Artillery Road and Hiland Drive interchange, realigning the Glenn Highway to reduce the southbound grade south of the Eagle River Bridge, as well as constructing a new southbound bridge over Eagle River to accommodate the additional lane. Work will also include constructing a frontage road west of the mainline from the Artillery Road interchange to the Hiland Road interchange. This west side frontage road will be two-way from Artillery Road to the Eagle River Bridge and one-way from the Eagle River Bridge to the Hiland Road interchange.
