BUILDING ALASKA SPECIAL SECTION | SUMMER CONSTRUCTION ROUND-UP
construction of prefabricated aluminum headwalls and wingwalls, placement of riprap for erosion protection, and road reconstruction.
South Tongass Highway Revamp The $9.7 million state project will reconstruct a highly-traveled area of the South
Tongass Highway in Ketchikan locally known as Front, Mill, and Stedman Streets. R&M Consultants is the engineer and Secon is the general contractor. Pedestrian traffic is a major challenge in this corridor due to the high volume of cruise ship traffic. Improvements include increasing the capacity
of pedestrian facilities and upgrades to meet current ADA requirements. The first phase of construction began in late February and includes sidewalk work on Stedman Street. Construction will transition to roadbed construction during summer 2018 in this same area.Â
