Renovations to the Nenana-Tochaket Road seek to meet the demand of the growing agricultural developments.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - With new accessibility demands, the Nenana-Tochaket Road is in need of major renovations, but the road ahead is long and unfinished.
“Originally the proposal for the road was to, actually one, construct improvements to the existing 12 mile Tochaket Road and then also push another approximately 19 miles beyond the existing road, towards the banks of the Kantishna River,” said Jonathan Hutchinson, the project manager for the renovation. That proposal, however, did not fare well with community members and stakeholders.
While extending the road is a big part of the project, the Department of Transportation will have to replace some bridges, plus rehabilitate some spur roads. Currently there are three bridges at the beginning of the road, all of which were meant to be temporary. “We will be replacing all three of those bridges with brand new bridges and keeping access open to the public during construction of those bridges,” said Hutchinson.
