Back Loop Road Earthen Berm

On June 5, a contract modification was awarded to Sealaska Corp. to construct an earthen berm extending about 1,100 feet east from the Back Loop Bridge. The berm will follow the general alignment of the existing high ground to provide flood protection for Back Loop Road and downstream portions of the community. Specifically, the new infrastructure is designed to prevent overtopping on the road and is located on Forest Service managed land. Construction will start immediately.
