Amats: minnesota drive & I/L street corridor plan

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities was awarded $700,000 under the Highway Planning and Construction Formula Grant program by the Federal Highway Administration on March 1, 2023. The funding will support a comprehensive corridor plan for Minnesota Drive and I/L Street in Alaska. The plan will analyze current conditions, anticipated growth patterns and impacts, mitigation alternatives, and recommended improvements for identified transportation needs. Modeling analysis and engineering work will be conducted as needed. The plan will include community input and a timeline for implementing recommended improvements along the corridor. The Highway Planning and Construction program aims to assist states in constructing, preserving, and improving highways through various transportation programs, including the Federal-aid Highway Program.
