Welcome to the web site for the Dimond Boulevard project. The project includes the segment of Dimond Boulevard from Jodhpur Street to Sand Lake Road, which represents the westernmost end of Dimond Boulevard.
According to the design documents entitled Territory of Alaska – Alaska Highway and Public Works Department, Highway Division, Project No. 5202(1), the corridor was constructed in 1958, and was originally named Kincaid Road. The roadway was subsequently paved in the mid-1960s and served a former Nike military ground-to-air missile site and borough car dump that became parkland in 1978. Jodhpur Street, the western terminus of the project, forms the eastern boundary of Kincaid Park. Since that time, Kincaid Park has transformed into 1,400 acres of rolling, forested hills and beautiful scenery that is now a major recreational destination for thousands of residents and visitors each year.
