Existing Conditions

The average daily traffic (ADT) of Territorial Highway is 1700 vehicle trips and conveys a relatively high percentage of freight traffic (10%). Bicyclists utilize this scenic rolling highway for recreational and commuter purposes. The roadway geometry is substandard with sharp curves, steep grades and narrow shoulders. A portion of the project is located within an active slide area and will require geotechnical mitigation. Bridges within the project area are prone to flooding and need to be raised or replaced.
