42nd Avenue Upgrade

The Municipality of Anchorage (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. The project is funded through the Final Design for Phase 1 and 65% Design for Phase 2. No funding for construction has been received at this time.
