The southbound Glenn Highway On-ramp (to downtown) from north Muldoon Road will be CLOSED from 9:00am Friday, August 4, until approximately 5:00am Monday, August 7.  Northbound and southbound traffic on Muldoon Road traveling towards downtown should plan to follow DETOUR routes via Debarr Road and Boniface Parkway.

After the CLOSURE ends, a NEW TRAFFIC PATTERN will be in effect at the diverging diamond interchange. To view an instructional driving video for this interchange, please visit www.glenmuldoon.com.

NEW TRAFFIC PATTERN is in effect for northbound Glenn Highway traffic exiting towards Muldoon Road.

In 75 years, Muldoon has come a long way

Seventy-five years ago, East Anchorage was mostly spruce forest. Anchorage pioneer homesteader Arnold L. Muldoon backpacked building materials along a muddy trail that became Muldoon Road. He put up a log cabin in the winter of 1940-1941 and tried his hand at farming. Read the story of how Muldoon Road got its name!

And we have a long way to go!

√    Muldoon Farmers Market – Saturdays 9-2 at Begich Middle School June 27 through September 26, 2015. The Muldoon Farmers Market is a volunteer-run, community-based, not-for-profit effort to create a quality farmers market by the mountains in East Anchorage, Alaska. The organizers are volunteers from the Northeast, Russian Jack and Scenic Foothills community councils who saw a need for a place to buy Alaska grown, caught, and made produce, food, arts and crafts in Muldoon.

√    Channelizing Muldoon Road – Muldoon Road has a higher crash rate than other similar roads in Alaska. The safety improvements are to benefit pedestrians, bicyclists and automobiles. The project is to reduce the number of left-turning, rear-end, and head-on collisions in project area. Safe Access is Good for Business document explains important safety impacts of carefully controlling and managing access along roadways.
