Roads
A message from the KPB Road Service Area: The Kenai Peninsula Borough Road Service Area (RSA) maintains over 645 miles (95% is gravel and 5% is paved) of roads. The RSA is divided into five regions: Central, West, North, East and South. Each region is divided into units. There are twenty eight (28) road maintenance units borough-wide.
The borough contracts with local contractors to maintain roads. Road maintenance includes snow plowing, sanding, minor road repairs, grading and ditch clearing.
The RSA hires contractors to perform all road maintenance work. Contractors are dispatched by the RSA. All concerns regarding road maintenance should be directed to the RSA, not the operational contractor.
