Welcome to the Eagle River Road Web Site . . . 

The Eagle River Road Rehabilitation is a project to extend the service life of the road and enhance both safety and capacity. The project involves resurfacing, and widening of the current road based on an ongoing analysis of the crash history. The project begins at Upper Terrace Street (MP 5.3) and continues to the end of the paved roadway at the Eagle River Nature Center (MP 12.6). We continue to meet with affected property owners and seek public input.

Where are we now?

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) Right of Way (ROW) Department has been working with individual affected property owners to acquire the additional right of way needed for the project. The acquisitions should be completed by spring 2012. Design of the project was delayed while the environmental concerns were addressed. Final design is now underway. The project is scheduled to go to bid in fall 2012 with construction occurring in 2013. See new schedule.
