The stretch highway to be improved reaches from Fred Meyer in Soldotna to the bridge over Moose River in Sterling
The money was made available under the American Rescue Plan Act.
The funds were part of $2 million in beetle kill mitigation funds obtained by Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
The regulations drew safety concerns when first proposed earlier this year.
The landslide happened on a section of road between Mileposts 49 and 51 on the Sterling Highway.
The project is aimed at improving highway safety between Sterling and Soldotna.
Recent funding just scratches surface of needs.
