The New Sunny Point Intersection was opened to the public with
unrestricted vehicular traffic, Thursday afternoon, November 6, 2008.

The project built the first diamond interchange in Juneau and consisted of:

  • A diamond interchange that raised Egan Drive
    over a new access road that connects to Glacier
    Highway next to the west end of the new Walmart
    store parking lot.

  • A traffic signal at the intersection of the
    new access road with Glacier Highway.

  • Access to Sunny Point via a separate underpass,
    crossing under Egan Drive about 300 feet
    west of the original Sunny Drive intersection.
