The Alaska Road Commissiob’s
'work in the Third division of Alaska,
as told by the 1916 report of the Com
mission, is as follows:
Valdez District.
(Mr. J. H. Ingram, Supt.)
Route 4A — Donnelly-Washburn
Sled Road (55 miles).—Temporary
winter bridges over the Big Delta and
Little Delta rivers, aggregating 410
feet in length, were again construct
ed by Mr. J. E. Sullivan, at a contract
price of $2.50 per linear foot. In ad
dition, minor bridge repairs were
made and approaches graded to
streams not bridged, at a total cost of
$40.
Unusually high water during No
vember carried away one of the tem
porary bridges, 90 feet in length over
the Big Delta river; this was replaced
by the Northern Commercial Co., op
erating the mail and stage line, for
$251.10, the actual cost of labor and
materials.
Route 4B—Valdez-Ernestine Road
(63 miles).—High water in Lowe riv
er and the Valdez glacier stream
again gave much trouble, and the
greater part of the year’s work was1
devoted to the repair of damage done
by these streams and the protection of
threatened points.
In August, 1915, a portion of the
grade over the glacial moraine near
Valdez was washed out by the glacier
stream, requiring the construction of
approximately 345 feet of pile trestle
extensions to existing bridges. Dur
ing the same month the road through
Keystone canyon was damaged by a
flood of Lowe river, making necessary
the reconstruction of cribbing, resur
facing washed-out sections, and plac
ing additional bank protection.
Seventeen hunderd and seventy-one
linear feet of the road between Val
dez and milepost 3 was raised during
the year by amounts of elevation vary
ing from 0.5 feet to 2 feet, and a total
of 6,110 linear feet of brush mattress j
of the usual type was constructed fori
the protection of the road.
The. bursting of a glacial reservoir j
on the headwaters of the Sainu river
in September, 1915, caused a flood of
unprecedented magnitude, which car
ried away the 60-foot span forming
part of the bridge over that stream.
This was replaced by a 75-foot span
at a labor cost of $588.81. Most of the
material was already on hand.
The remanider of the work on this
route consisted of general mainten
ance and improvement. A stringer
bridge on mile 7 was replaced by a 36
foot truss bridge. Thirty-six hundred
and seventy-seven linear feet of road
was given a light gravel surfacing.
One man was employed between Key
stone canyon and Parmigan Drop
from May 1 to June 30 of this year to
keep ditches and culverts open during
the spring melting and remove slides
from side hill cuts.
The total cost of all work on this
route averaged $458.86 per mile.
Route 4C—Emestine-Willow Creek
Road (29 miles).—Extensive damage
to corduroy and culverts on this route
resulted from forest fires during 1915.
The work of the year embraced the re
pair of this damage, and general main
tenance, including the removal of
slides and fallen trees, cleaning out
ditches, and surfacing soft sections
with gravel. The average cost of the
work was 194.65 per mile.
Route 4D—Willow Creek-Gulkana
Road (36 miles).—General repairs to
the entire route and the improvement
of sections on which no elaborate
work had previously been done con
stituted the work of the year. The
usual repairs included improvements
to the drainage system, building new
culverts and repairing those damaged
by forest fires, dragging and rolling
the road, and minor repairs to the Gul
kana bridge. In addition 7 2-3 miles
of road was straightened, widened and
graded with a road machine. The to
tal expenditures on this route was
$12,511.01.
Route 4E — Gulkana - Sourdough
on corduroy, repairing and construct
ing culverts, and dragging and rolling
the road. The average cost of the
work was $143.72 per mile.
Route 4F—Sourdough-168 Milepost
(18.2 miles).—The work on this route
during the year embraced laying 1,336
linear feet of corduroy, enlarging
ditches, repairing culverts and surfac
ing 2,125 linear feet of road with
gravel. In addition, 19 new culverts,
with a total length of 101 linear feet,
were constructed at an average cost of
$1.84 per linear foot. Corduroy in
place cost 25 cents per lineal foot. The
total expenditure on this route aver
aged $469.01 per mile.
Route 4G—168 Milepost-Delta River
Road (38.3 miles).—Maintenance and
repair work of the usual nature was
carried on in 1915. In addition, 38
new culverts, aggregating 230 feet in
length, were constructed at an aver
age cost of $1.64 per linear foot.
For the protection of the road
across Gun creek flat, there was con
structed a low dike 1,160 feet in length
and averaging 5 feet in height, pro
tected against erosion by a brush mat
tress of the type used on route 4B.
Route 4H—Delta River-McCarty
Road (73.4 miles).—General mainten
ance of the entire route, together with
some improvements, constituted the
work of the year on this route. Work
not classified as usual repairs includ
ed building 34 new culverts, total
length 204 feet, at an average cost of
$1.70 per linear foot, and widening
5 miles- of road and grading with a
road machine, at an average cost of
$530.32 per mile. The protection and
repair of the 60-foot truss bridge on
mile 221 cost $850.41.
Route 41 — McCarty - Richardson
Road (20.6 miles).—The work of main
tenance and improvement on this
route included widening turns on Shaw
creek hill, repairing bridges and cul
verts, surfacing with broken rock
2,200 linear feet of road near Rich

miles of the road with a road machine.
The total cost of the work on this
route was $18,203.34.
Route 6A—Willow Creek-Tonsina
Road (24 miles).—General repairs and
maintenance constituted the chief
work of the year on this route, and
embraced filling ruts and leveling road
with a road machine, removing wind
falls and rebuilding culverts which
had been destroyed by fire. In addi
tion, 190 linear feet of log cribbing
was constructed on the grade 1 mile
from the Eonsina river, to protect the
road from drifting sand; the cost of
this work was $462.
The total cost of work on this route
averaged $61.96 per mile.
Route 6B—Tonsina-Chitna Road
(15 miles).—The usual maintenance
and repair work was performed on
this section in 1915, and in addition
the following improvements were
made;
A substantial surfacing of gravel
and broken rock, 6 to 10 inches in
depth and 914 to 12 feet wide, was laid
on 6,705 linear feet of road at an aver
age cost of $719.24 per mile. Twenty
four culverts, with a total length of
149 feet, were constructed, at a cost of
$2.03 per linear foot. Two miles of
side hill cut was widened 4 feet, at a
cost of $486.50.
A low brush and gravel dike, 272
feet in length, was constructed across
the head of a slough of the Tonsina
river, above the bridge, to divert into
the main channel a flow which was
threatening the road. This dike cost
$676.50.
The total cost of all work on this
route was $8,040.29.
Southwestern District.
(Mr. Anton Eide, Supt.)
Route 10—Seward-Kenai Lake Road
(14 miles).—Maintenance work by the
board on this route was confined to the
early part of the year, and included
minor repairs to bridges, removing
driftwood from bridges and repairing
corduroy.
During October and November, 1915,
$3,400 was expended on this route by
the Territorial road commissioner for
the Third judicial division, under the
immediate supervision of Mr. • Eide.
The work was done by contract, and
embraced relocating on the right of
way of the Government railroad, ap
proximately 1.8 miles of the road be
constructing the pile bridge over Res
urrection river was commenced. Three
75-foot truss spans ware erected over
the main stream, and the south pile
trestle approach was extended 200
feet. The cost of this work to June
30 was $2,616.10. The bridge was
completed in August at a total cost of
approximately $4,700.
Route 12—Mile 34 A. N. R. R.-Hope

road.— The year’s work on this route
was entirely maintenance, and com
prised the removal of fallen trees, re
pairing culverts and corduroy, and
cleaning out cuts.
Route 19—Kern Creek-Knik Trail
(86 miles).—About 13 miles of this
trail, following the steep slopes of the
mountains along Tumagain Arm,
through heavy vegetation, was seri
ously damaged during the summer of
1915 by forest fires, which destroyed
the greater part of the retaining walls
and bridges. The work of repair was
carried on during September and Oc
tober, 1915, at an average cost of
$18.26 per mile for the 13 miles cov
ered.
Travel over this route during the
past winter was unusually heavy, ow
ing to increases in the mail service
and in the activities of the Alaskan
Engineering Commission, making
some additirtnal work necessary to im

snowslides and dangerous ice forma
tions. This work covered 34 miles and
cost $30.41 per mile.
