Vine and Hollywood Projects
Project Overview
The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is undertaking three projects to improve Vine Road and Hollywood Road in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough (Mat-Su). The three projects are as follows – Vine Road Improvements: KGB Road to Hollywood Road; Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP): Vine Road at Hollywood Road Intersection Improvements; Hollywood Road: Vine Road to Big Lake Road Pavement Preservation. Short descriptions and a project area map for each project are below.
Vine Road Improvements: KGB Road to Hollywood Road
DOT&PF is working on a project to reconstruct Vine Road between Knik-Goose Bay Road and Hollywood Road. The project will reconstruct 0.6 miles of the existing two-lane road to increase capacity, address safety, and meet current design standards. Improvements will include:
- reconstructing the roadbed
- widening shoulders
- drainage improvements
- adding a pedestrian pathway
- ADA improvements
- signing and striping
Right-of-Way (ROW) acquisitions and utility relocations will be necessary.
The purpose of this project is to address capacity needs, safety improvements, and improve roadway geometry to current design standards.
HSIP: Vine Road at Hollywood Road Intersection Improvements
DOT&PF is developing a project to improve the intersection of Vine Road and Hollywood Road. Improvements will include installation of a single-lane roundabout and may include:
- improved drainage
- pedestrian accommodations
- landscaping
- illumination
- signing and striping
- ADA improvements
Utility relocation and Right-of-Way (ROW) acquisition will be necessary.
The purpose of this project is to improve intersection safety and pedestrian access. The intersection currently experiences a crash rate higher than the statewide average for this type of intersection. View the Roundabouts in Alaska: Faster, Safer, Smarter page to learn more about roundabouts.
Hollywood Road: Vine Road to Big Lake Road Pavement Preservation
DOT&PF is developing a project to resurface Hollywood Road between Big Lake Road to the west and Vine Road to the east. Improvements may include:
- minor roadbed improvements
- drainage improvements
- signing and striping
The purpose of this project is to extend the surface life of the roadway and reduce maintenance costs.
