After being delayed due to missing materials, the Aurora Drive Bridge is now open and residents are relieved.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - After a materials delay, the long awaited Aurora Drive Bridge is finally complete and open to the public as of Sunday.
Now, their patience can be put to rest as the public can once again access the subdivision from College Road. While the work began on time and was much needed, a delay in materials left residents of the Aurora subdivision without fast access to College Road. That meant the scheduled end of the project in October of 2023 would not come to fruition. “Unfortunately the girders for the new bridge weren’t available that year,” explained Perreault.
Finally reponed for public use on Sunday, residents of the subdivision and some auto enthusiasts celebrated the long awaited moment with a ribbon cutting ceremony and short parade. “I’m excited, I’m so relieved that it’s here,” said Gabriel Larry, a resident of the area. “It’s opening up the neighborhood again.” The parade included an array of vintage cars and some off-road vehicles and more modern automobiles.
