A section of Northern Lights Boulevard will be closed all of Memorial Day weekend as crews conduct work connected to a waterline rehabilitation project.


Anchorage Water & Wastewater Utility says the project will replace aging infrastructure that is corroding and breaking under the high-traffic roadway, as well as upsizing the water main in an effort to promote its efficiency.


AWWU says Northern Lights Boulevard will be closed from Bragaw Street to Wesleyan Drive from 8 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Tuesday to conduct the project. Detours will be put in place to divert motorists around the project.
