Elmore Road Pavement Preservation Abbott Rd. to Providence Dr.

State/Federal Project No: CFHWY00395/0001642

Project Overview

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are proposing to resurface Elmore Road between Abbott Road and Providence Drive. Repaving will help preserve the road structure, reduce maintenance demands, extend the life of the facility, and improve usability. This project will also include limited improvements to adjoining road features such as culverts and pedestrian facilities.

Project Background

This section of Elmore Road has connected the major east-west corridors of Abbott Road and Tudor Road since the completion of the Abbott Loop Extension project in 2010. Approximately 10,000 to 20,000 vehicles per day use Elmore Road to access neighborhoods, parks, and schools. Additionally, Elmore Road provides a north-south route for vehicles using Abbott Road, Dowling Road, and Tudor Road.    

Over time, and with heavy vehicular use, asphalt pavement begins to deteriorate. This deterioration, accelerated by weather, causes distressed pavement including ruts, cracks, and potholes as well as faded pavement markings, thus degrading the surface and subsurface of the road. The upcoming pavement preservation project will address these issues by replacing portions of the subsurface material and repaving the entire road.

What's Happening Now

Construction activities began the last week of June 2024.

Project Purpose and Need

The purpose of this pavement preservation project is to extend the service life of the facility.

Schedule
