The first phase of construction work along North Franklin Street in downtown Juneau has been postponed to summer of 2027. Early site investigation revealed more preparation is needed than what was originally planned for. The area will return to normal traffic and pedestrian access by Monday, Aug. 3.

Juneau International Airport is seeking public comment on a proposed Passenger Facility Charge of $4.50 per eligible enplaned passenger that is proposed to take effect Nov. 1, 2026, and expire Aug. 31, 2035.

Construction on North Franklin Street begins Wednesday, July 15. The project will make necessary upgrades to water, wastewater and storm drain utilities, and also replace the street’s curb, gutters, sidewalk, pedestrian structures, and pavement.
