Brett Nelson, Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOT&PF), 2301 Peger Road, Fairbanks, AK 99709, brett.nelson@alaska.gov states the purpose is to reconstruct the Elliot Highway between MP 106.6 and MP 107.7 to improve public safety by widening the road so there is sufficient width for oncoming vehicles, to provide a consistent road width to match road widths (24 feet) at either end of the project, to construct drainage ditches to provide sufficient area for snow removal and improve drainage away from the roadway, and extend existing culverts and install cross drainage culverts where needed in previously disturbed areas. The proposed upgrades consist of 2.25 acres of permanent impacts from the discharge of approximately 566 cubic yards of fill into waters of the U.S. (WOTUS), including wetlands. Additional work associated with the proposed project includes the use of one material site and one staging area located in uplands (Figure 4, March 22, 2023). Work is proposed to start during the summer of 2023 and continue depending on resources available over the next three to five years. All work would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1–3), dated March 22, 2023. The beginning of the project is located at Elliot Highway Mile Post (MP) 106.6 at approximately Latitude 65.2462° N, Longitude 149.4823° W; the end of the project is located at Elliot Highway MP 107.7 at approximately Latitude 65.2387° N, Longitude 149.5131° W. The Material Site (MS 680-052-2) is located on the Elliot Highway at MP 105.5. The staging area is located at a pullout at MP 106.5 just before the beginning of the project. The project site can be reached by taking the Elliot Highway north out of Fox, Alaska for approximately 73 miles, taking a left at Livengood, AK and following the Elliot Highway 34 miles to the beginning of the project.
