Stage 2 (Design 2020–2023, Construction 2024–2027)

DOT&PF completed the Juneau Creek Bridge design as a steel girder bridge. Construction of the bridge abutments is anticipated to begin in 2024, with construction of the bridge continuing through 2027.

Juneau Creek Bridge will be: 

• Highest crossing in the state at 285 feet (Hurricane Gulch is approximately 250 feet)
• longest single-span bridge in the state since 1982
• longest erected and launched bridge in the state

Work for the 2025 construction season has ended. Completed work includes:

• On-site bridge girder assembly
• Completion of pier shaft column extensions
• Piers #2 and #3 caps completion (reinforcing steel and concrete)
• Majority assembly of launch steel
• Installation of launching components such as roller assemblies and jacking stands
• Launch nose installation
• King post installation

Work has resumed for the 2026 season, with main focus on girder launch preparation. The launch is anticipated to take place following Memorial weekend. Crews will be working Monday through Saturday. Both Bean Creek and Resurrection Trails remain open for use.

Other work planned for the 2026 season includes pouring abutment backwalls, wingwalls, and shear keys.
