The Juneau-Douglas Bridge (variant: J.D. Bridge) is located in Juneau, Alaska. Spanning the Gastineau Channel, it connects Juneau's eastern, mainland side with the cities community located on Douglas Island to the west. The current span is the second bridge to bear the same name; the original one, built in 1935, was demolished in 1981 following the completion of the replacement bridge in 1980.
The bridge is the only roadway link to Douglas Island and the community of Douglas. Egan Drive, Juneau's principal arterial highway, and the bridge are connected at the intersection of Egan and 10th Street, one of the busiest intersections in Southeast Alaska.[1] The current bridge provides a two lane road that accommodates vehicular and pedestrian traffic, as well as a bike path.[2]how to sell a business
