- Work is expected to start the week of May 18.
- SINGLE-LANE TRAFFIC will be maintained for north and southbound traffic on University Avenue. Turns will not be permitted at the Geist Road/Johansen Expressway intersection.
- Access will remain open to local businesses and residents. Bike and pedestrian access will also be maintained through the construction zone.
- Please allow for additional travel time and plan to follow all construction signs for DETOUR routes. Peger Road will have an additional RIGHT TURN LANE to accommodate increased traffic turning onto Airport Way.
Expect DETOUR routes as well as SINGLE LANE TRAFFIC for both north and south bound lanes of University Avenue as well as temporary traffic signals.
The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, in partnership with Great Northwest, Inc., is working to widen and reconstruct the intersection of University Avenue and Geist Road/Johansen Expressway. University Avenue will also be repaved between Thomas Street and Wolf Run. We will do our best to keep you informed as work progresses and appreciate your patience and cooperation during construction.
