Glacier Highway lighting plan takes step forward with drilling

Alaska transportation crews have begun preliminary ground testing for planned streetlights along about 1.3 miles of Glacier Highway in Juneau. Drilling is scheduled through Nov. 20 between Jensine Street and Fritz Cove Road, from mileposts 10.22 to 11.51. The federally funded safety project aims to improve visibility between the Mendenhall Valley and Auke Bay before installation proceeds.
