PAGE EIGHT ARC Steps Up 1951 Program On Road Work By the end of 1951, the Alaska | Road Commission will have com- | pleted one of its most extensive road programs in the history of its Alaska operations, Col. John R Noyes, commissioner, said today. i A program of modernizing Alas- ka roads was begun in 1948 but with the national emergency, the 1951 operations have been stepped | up in many areas to meet lhl'; xeeds of national defense. Hard surfacing, reco and improvement, replacement of | bridges and eliminating of driving hazards have high priority on the ARC program. Glenn-Richardson Hwys. At the end of the 1950 construct- | jon season the first 90 miles of the| Glenn Highway extending eastward ! from Anchorage had been hard| surfaced The entire remaining | portion of the highway to Mile 189 | at Glennallen is now under con- tract tor completion by the end of | the working season of 1951, and, in addition, the Richardson High- way is also under contract for| harg surfacing from Big Timber,| at the junction with the Tok Cut-| off, squthward' to the vicinity of | Tonsina River, a distance of al- most 50 miles. By the end of 1951 it will be practicable to drive on a hard surfaced road from Anch- orage over 200 miles in the direc- tion of Valdez. ‘The first 37 miles of the Rich-| ardson Highway nearest Valdez and the first 45 miles of the Tok Cutoff will be under reconstruc- tion, preparatory to hard surfac- ing, during 1851, 205 Miles Hard Surface From Fairbanks, at the end of 1950, the hard surfacing was com- pleted for the first 95 miles of the Richardson Highway to Big Delta Junction. Eastward from Big Delta on the Alaska Highway, 45 miles to the Johnson River is now under contract and the next 65 miles from Johnson River to Tok “is already hard surfaced. Upon the comple- tion of the present contract it will be possible to drive 205 miles on hard surfaced roads all the way from Fairbanks to Tok. The entire road between Anchor- age and Seward will be actively under construction or reconstruc- tion and by the end of the season is expected to be open and con- nected by means of existing roads with ‘Kenai, Homer, Hope, and Sunrise. ARC—BPR Cooperutes All of the work of hai.l surfacing of roads in Alaska, and the con- structien of tle Seward-Anchor- age Fighway, is being performed ccoperatively by the Alaska Road Commissiop and the Bureau of Public Roads. During the summer of 1951 it| is anticipated that the new road ! extencing from the Alaska High- way ai Teilin Junction, near Tok, to Eegle, and Dawson will be com- pleted in passable condition all the way to Eagle. Work will be continued upon the new road to connect Mr. McKin- ley National Park with the main Alaska road system. It is proposed to continue the D usual maintenance of the Nome| road system. These roads include the Nome-Council Road which was completed in 1950, the Seward Peninsula Tram Road, extending 80 miles northward from Nome, and its extension the Bunker Hill-Tay-/ Jor Road serving the miners of the Kougarok. Maintain Side Roads Local roads at Deering, Takotna, Dillingham, Iliamna, Talkeetns Colorado, Ferry, Ruby, Manley Hot Springs, Rampart, Wiseman, and many other isolated localities will be given annual maintenance, and, where possible, improved. At Naknek, Kodiak, and Haines, roads will be built in some cases utilizing funds of the Department of National Defense, in the con- struction of which the Alaska Road Commission will participate as a consultant.
