Glenn Hwy right lane closed near MP 26-27 for guardrail repairs Thursday

Anchorage-bound drivers on the Glenn Highway face a single-lane merge between mile markers 27 and 26 Thursday, with the right inbound lane closed for guardrail and fencing repairs until 4:30 PM.

The closure began at 8:30 AM. Drivers heading toward Anchorage should allow extra travel time through the afternoon. The Glenn carries tens of thousands of vehicles daily between the Mat-Su Valley and Anchorage, making even a single-lane restriction consequential for commuters and freight drivers.

Alaska 511 classifies the event as minor and does not indicate a full closure of the roadway. One right lane remains closed for the duration of the repair window, with work expected to wrap up by 4:30 PM Thursday.
