Phase 1 – 2025 Construction Update: The Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) Project Management & Engineering Department (PM&E) will continue construction of the 42nd Avenue Upgrade Phase 1 project beginning in approximately mid-April 2025. MOA has selected Roger Hickel Contracting, Inc. (RHC) to perform the construction of this project through the public bidding process.

It’s anticipated that work east of Wright Street will continue into 2026. Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation as we work to improve your neighborhood!
The MOA is planning to upgrade East 42nd Avenue between Lake Otis Parkway and Florina Street (see map below). The project will be designed and constructed in phases. Phase 1 project limits are from Lake Otis Parkway to Piper Street and includes the water main replacement. Phase 1 also includes Fish Creek regrading and replacing all the culverts along East 42nd Avenue west of Lake Otis Parkway. Phase 2 project limits are from Piper Street to Florina Street.
Improvements are expected to include:
- New road foundation
- New asphalt pavement
- New storm drain system
- New pedestrian facilities
- Improved street lighting
- Phase 1 water main replacement
The MOA has contracted with CRW Engineering Group, Inc. to provide preliminary engineering and design services. With the passing of the Anchorage Road and Drainage Service Area (ARDSA) bond in the April 2024 election, Phase 1 is now funded through construction. Phase 2 65% design is complete and is awaiting additional funding for completion of the design and construction.
