Sterling Safety Corridor Improvements: Sterling to Soldotna (Milepost 82.5-94)
The purpose of this project is to address the safety concerns that led to a Highway Safety Corridor designation on this section of the Sterling Highway. This project will seek environmental clearance and identify impacts for this recommended section.
The proposed project includes:
- Four-lane divided highway with depressed median
- Separated bike/pedestrian pathway north of the highway
- Turn lanes
- Intersection realignments
Note: The design will not change the existing five-lane highway configuration in Sterling or Soldotna.
