The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $255,816.44 to the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities on August 7, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to resurface Glacier Highway in Juneau, Alaska. The project encompasses pavement resurfacing work on Glacier Highway from the intersection with Auke Bay Ferry Terminal East Berth Road to the intersection with Lena Loop, delivering critical highway preservation and modernization services in Alaska's transportation infrastructure network.

In addition to the primary resurfacing work, the award supports associated preventative maintenance and infrastructure improvements including minor structural section repairs, lighting enhancements, drainage system repairs, guardrail installation or upgrades, striping, and signage. These complementary activities enhance overall highway safety, functionality, and long-term asset preservation on this important transportation corridor serving the Juneau area.
