The Department of Transportation says it has recognized the need for improvement on the Sterling Highway for years, but a massive highway project through Cooper Landing is now expected to take longer.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - It’s a project that’s been discussed since not long after the gravel highway from Cooper Landing to Homer was completed in 1950.
“This project, the Environmental Impact Statement, it started back in the 1960s, and finally, this Juneau Creek Alternative was selected in 2018,” DOT project manager Jonathan Tymick said. “We began construction in late 2020, and you know, here we are today.”The Juneau Creek Alternative is a 10-mile stretch of highway that’s being constructed north of Cooper Landing and the Kenai River, from milepost 46.5 to milepost 56.
That leaves roughly four million cubic yards to complete the project. Erecting the bridge will be a huge feat in and of itself.
