Crews will start Seward Meridian median installation on Wednesday, August 13, between Palmer Wasilla Highway and Cottonwood Creek in Wasilla, Alaska. During construction, drivers will face closures at East Meridian Loop, North Meridian Place and East Cottonwood Way, significantly affecting normal traffic routes.
Motorists must use intersections with traffic signals at East Birch View Drive and East County Field Circle to access closed-off areas safely. All current traffic flows on the west side while crews focus on completing the east side before the project’s September deadline.
Once work ends, left turns at non-signalized intersections will be permanently banned due to the new median’s traffic safety design. Officials say the installation reduces crash risks and improves roadway safety for residents and commuters.
