Major construction in the Mat-Su Borough is beginning to wind down, as the DOT begins bedding down projects for the winter months. Depending on the weather, most projects should wrap up for the season around late October.
Weather depending, projects could keep running through the end of October, early NovemberPublished: Sep. 24, 2024 at 4:11 PM AKDTPALMER, Alaska - The end of the summer months also marks the end of construction of primary season for the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities .
While new lanes have been built and paved, Shelby said the highway will remain a two-lane one over the winter months. “For the winter months, they’re going to be on that new portion , but there probably are sections that they’re still trying to do some work on ,” Shelby said. According to Shelby, crews are still out there doing some paving, stabilization work, and finishing up signage and lighting in the section that runs from Centaur Avenue to Fairview Loop. It was expected that residents would get a break from construction in the summer of 2025, with Phase Two originally scheduled to begin work in 2026, but Shelby said the timeline of that phase could be moved up.
The crossovers will be used when the overhaul work begins, as each bridge will have to be shut down for 30 days each while work is being completed. Once one bridge shuts down, the other will be used for both north and southbound traffic. During that time, the bridges will be turned into temporary three-lane bridges divided by concrete medians. The medians will be adjusted daily during peak commuting times.
