Juneau Equipment Transport Restrictions, Exceptions, And Other Information

Key Considerations for Equipment Transport in Juneau

No Highway Connection to Mainland U.S.

Juneau is not connected by road to the rest of Alaska or North America.
All heavy or oversize equipment must arrive via:
- • Marine transport
  (barge or ferry, typically via the Alaska Marine Highway System or private carriers)
- • Air freight
  (for lighter or time-sensitive cargo)

Marine Transport Requirements

Port of Juneau (Auke Bay & Downtown Terminals):

Heavy equipment is typically shipped to:
- • Auke Bay Terminal (Alaska Marine Highway System)
- • South Franklin Street Dock or AJ Dock (for barge and commercial marine freight)
Prior scheduling with port authorities is required for oversize and heavy lift deliveries.

Landing Considerations:

Some equipment deliveries may require special cranes or roll-on/roll-off capabilities depending on dock configuration.
Port handlers should be notified in advance for cargo over 8'6" wide, 15' tall, or 40+ ft long.

Local Road Access and Routing in Juneau

Juneau Road Network Overview:

The local road system is isolated, stretching roughly 50 miles from Thane (south of downtown) to Echo Cove (north of Auke Bay).
Major routes used for equipment transport:
- • Egan Drive (AK-7) – Main arterial route connecting downtown to Mendenhall Valley and Auke Bay
- • Glacier Highway – Extends beyond Auke Bay toward Echo Cove
- • Thane Road – Narrow and winding, often unsuitable for oversize loads

Restrictions:

Bridge height and weight limits may apply near Auke Bay and Mendenhall Loop Road
Many intersections and shoulders are narrow and unpaved, limiting maneuverability for wide or tall loads
No permitted loads allowed on Thane Road over certain widths due to cliffside conditions and limited turnaround space

Permit and Escort Requirements

State Permit Required For:

Width over 8'6"
Height over 15 feet
Length over 75 feet (combination)
Weights over 80,000 lbs

Local Jurisdiction (City and Borough of Juneau - CBJ):

Must be contacted for:
- • Oversize loads on municipally maintained streets
- • Construction zone deliveries
- • Moves involving sidewalk closures or traffic signal interference

Escort Requirements:

One pilot car for:
- • Widths over 10 feet
- • Loads exceeding 85 feet in length
Two escorts and/or police escort may be required for:
- • Widths over 12 feet
- • Any movement through downtown Juneau or narrow rural roads

Seasonal and Environmental Restrictions

Precautions

Heavy snowfall and ice between November and April may restrict equipment movement
Road crews may require 24–48 hours’ notice to plow or sand specific areas
Spring thaw (April–June) may impose weight limits on secondary roads
Landslides and rockfalls occasionally affect Thane Road and Glacier Highway—detours may not be available

Special Exceptions and Limitations

Superloads (exceeding 16 feet wide or 150,000 lbs) may require:

Structural analysis of local bridges
Port-to-site coordination with crane operators and escort teams
Night or weekend movement to reduce impact on daily traffic

Must be coordinated with airport authorities and CBJ
TSA regulations apply for any airfield or tarmac access
