Project Description

This project is to improve the 5.71 miles of Territorial Highway located between Gillespie Corners (milepost 32.06) and the town of Lorane (milepost 37.37), generally following the existing roadway alignment, with the exception of the segment through the slide area (milepost 34.09 to 35.3 at Stony Point) and including:

  • Widening the road to provide 6-foot shoulders (to accommodate a bike path within the shoulder area) for a total pavement width of 34 feet (keeping just one vehicle travel lane in each direction)

  • Realigning 4 curves to improve access and sight distance (curve widening at horizontal curves to maximize safety, especially for bicycle traffic)

  • Replacing deficient waterway crossings (replacing culverts and raising and widening bridges)

  • Stabilizing the slide at Stony Point
