In order to ensure ADA access to Rabinowitz Courthouse parking lot, Wendell Avenue, which runs north of the courthouse, will become a two-way street.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - The demolition of the iconic Polaris Building tower in downtown Fairbanks is starting, and traffic in the area is being altered while the effort is ongoing.
Specifically, on the north side of the building, 1st avenue will see a closure between Lacey and Noble Street. The intersection between Lacey Street and 1st Avenue will also close, along with a couple of crosswalks in the area. The building has already been hollowed out, and according to City Engineer Robert Pristash, demolition will begin on the top floor and work its way down, with a crane positioned on ground level to transport blocks of concrete.
Pristash explained, “They looked at the existing building to make sure, when they were cutting pieces off, it wouldn’t be unevenly loaded, and maybe have a risk of collapsing because of unequal weight, so that’s been done already, so now what they’re doing is they’re going to have special people up on the roof where they cut the concrete and they install anchors into the concrete.
