Notice of Construction on Young Road

Please be aware that construction on Young Road will begin as soon as August
8 and will cause major disruptions in traffic flow. The project is expected to be
completed by October 31, 2022. Updates are posted to the Haines 2020 Storm
Repairs Facebook page by the contractor
https://www.facebook.com/hainesboroughstormrepairs.

Young Road was one of the roads severely damaged during the December 2020
Storm Event. This is a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
project, with the federal government paying the cost to repair the road and its
drainage systems. The project will affect traffic and water availability. The
contractor will install a temporary water system that will allow residents
effected by the shutoff for the waterline replacement to have access to water for
the duration of the shutoff.

The contractor's work hours will be 7am - 5pm Monday through Saturday.
The focus is to get the project finished as quickly as possible, so that the
inconvenience associated with it will be finished as quickly as possible.

The contractor, Southeast Road Builders, is planning on using automated
traffic control signals to control traffic, one lane of traffic will be maintained
through the work zone. Temporary traffic control signage and devices will be
used to channel pedestrians and traffic through the work zone.

This project includes reconditioning of the existing roadway and ditches,
installation of base course material and pavement, and installation of new
stormwater, sewer, and water systems. New sidewalk, curb and gutter, and
valley gutter will also be installed along the roadway.

Please direct any questions to Haines Borough Public Facilities Director, Ed
Coffland at 907-766-6414.
