Based on the current forecast, the Mendenhall River is expected to reach a crest between 11 and 11.5 feet on Monday, October 21, between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. This could result in flooding on View Drive, making it impassable and potentially affecting homes in the area. Additionally, homes along Meander Way may also experience flooding in their backyards.
The City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ) is closely monitoring the situation and urges all members of the public to avoid the Mendenhall River until further notice for their own safety as well as others'. The banks are unstable and slippery due to recent snowfall.
