Juneau Point Stephens Culvert

State Project # SFHWY00451 / Federal Project # 0003285

 

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) is proposing to replace culverts and address drainage issues in the Point Stephens neighborhood in Juneau, Alaska.

Purpose & Need

The purpose of the project is to characterize all water catchment areas that influence the conveyance of surface water and evaluate the location, geometry, and conveyance capacity of existing DOT&PF hydraulic structures. These engineering evaluations will be used to assist with improving current DOT&PF infrastructure and their continued use.

Project Description

The proposed project would:

• Remove three (3) existing culverts along Point Stephens Road and Point Stephens Spur Road
• Install three (3) new culverts of larger or equal size along Point Stephens Road and Point Stephens Spur Road
• Clean and regrade the ditches connective culverts for improved hydraulic connectivity

Status

The project is anticipated to occur in 2026, pending available funding. Temporary traffic disruptions and delays are anticipated in the Point Stephens and Point Stephens Spur neighborhood during the construction of this project, and such delays would be addressed in a traffic control plan as the project progresses.
