How will the road and structures address earthquake / seismic issues?
Roads and structures will be designed to the current state and federal design standards adopted by the Alaska Department of Transportation. Typically, these are national standards developed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). The project team includes local consulting firms that specialize in geotechnical engineering issues such as designing for the types of soils, groundwater, and seismic conditions found in Alaska.
