Transportation Projects
Knik Arm Crossing Project
The Knik Arm Crossing Project would meet the current and projected transportation needs for both the Municipality of Anchorage and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The proposal is to construct a cost-affordable, vehicular toll bridge about 2 miles long, across Knik Arm to join the Port of Anchorage area and Port MacKenzie area. The purpose of this project is to fulfill the following needs:
- An efficient link between the operations and infrastructure of the two ports;
- An alternate north-south emergency response and disaster evacuation route; and
- Transportation infrastructure for existing and projected population and economic growth.
