The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $1,039,000 in Formula Grant funding on March 18, 2025, to the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The award funds the construction of a single-lane roundabout at the Loop Road, Mendenhall Boulevard, and Valley Boulevard intersection in Juneau, Alaska. This safety improvement project spans approximately 0.2 miles across the three intersecting roadways and addresses intersection safety enhancement objectives within Alaska's highway infrastructure network.

Under the Highway Planning and Construction program, FHWA provides federal financial assistance to state departments of transportation for highway infrastructure development, preservation, and safety improvements. As Alaska's primary transportation authority, DOT&PF administers this federal funding to deliver critical highway safety projects across the state's challenging geographic landscape. The roundabout construction project represents a targeted safety enhancement that aligns with the program's focus on improving transportation safety through infrastructure improvements on public roadways.
