Pay no attention to the giant bronze whale beneath the bridge. Not until Saturday, that is.<\/p>\n
The Whale Project Committee is holding an unveiling ceremony for Juneau\u2019s newest landmark \u2014 a six-and-a half-ton, life-sized bronze sculpture of a breaching humpback whale \u2014 on Saturday at 10 a.m.<\/p>\n
The park in which the whale sits, located next to the Douglas Bridge, is still under construction, so the whale isn\u2019t currently accessible to the public. But from 10-11 a.m. Saturday, people will be able to enter the park to see the whale up close.<\/p>\n
To access the park, turn onto West 8th Street, where the Alaska Department of Fish and Game building, Department of Labor and Cycle Alaska are located.<\/p>\n
The park will be closed to the public after the ceremony until further notice. The project is scheduled to be completed next fall.<\/p>\n
Call the city\u2019s Engineering Department at 586-0800 for more information.<\/p>\n
