Alaska DOT&PF removes broken girder from Eagle River Bridge

ANCHORAGE — Crews finished removing the second half of the girder early Sunday morning at around 1 a.m. The Artillery overpass remains closed so the contractor can install new new barrier rail and new pavement markings for traffic control. We anticipate reopening to east/west traffic later this afternoon.

Next steps include disposal of the girder, cleaning up the area, and demobilizing the equipment.

Reopening of the southbound Glenn Highway is on schedule for Monday morning, March 26. More information can be found at DOT&PF bridge response website atwww.dot.alaska.gov/glennhighwayoverpass
