Glenn Highway Bridge Reopens Friday | Anchorage News

After 96 days of closure, the Glenn Highway bridge near Peters Creek is finally reopening this Friday night—thanks to a full rebuild with new rebar, fresh concrete, and a smooth overlay. This wraps up the $22 million phase of a multi-year project that also included work on the Knik River bridge. The southbound span remains open for now, with cleanup crews removing temporary barriers. Minor lane closures may still occur, but drivers can expect a smoother ride without the jarring bump from the Knik River bridge. The project ran over a month due to unexpected deck damage requiring a full replacement—not just an overlay. The construction team praised the public’s patience, despite a few minor incidents. Looking ahead, a $33 million Glenn Highway reconstruction and an Eagle River interchange project are still in the pipeline, meaning the highway’s transformation isn’t quite done.
