Trout Lake Highway serves as a direct connection between the communities of Glenwood and Trout Lake. This road is a major route for harvested forest products to reach the market. In addition to providing a route for commerce, Trout Lake Highway carries tourists to and from state and federal recreational lands.
Trout Lake Highway was in dire need of pavement preservation. Many areas consisted of patches on top of patches. The roadway width was also under the minimum standard width for a Rural Major Collector and needed minor widening. Other safety improvements were needed including, removal of fixed objects, guardrail and slope flattening.
The existing failing surface was removed, base rock added to widen the roadway to a minimum of 22 feet of travel way width, slopes were flattened to provide recoverable slopes, guardrail added and fixed objects within the clear-zone were removed. Finally the roadway received a 3-inch overlay of Hot Mix Asphalt.
