Cordova ferry terminal modifications

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $650,000 to the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities on August 1, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support modifications to the existing Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) ferry terminal in Cordova, Alaska. This project grant will fund infrastructure improvements designed to enhance the terminal's capacity to accommodate Alaska Class ferry berthing operations and support the homeporting of vessels at the Cordova facility.

The project represents a targeted investment in Alaska's multimodal transportation network, specifically addressing the operational needs of the state's marine highway system, which serves over 30 coastal communities. Ferry terminal enhancements of this nature align with FHWA's broader program objectives to improve transportation infrastructure connectivity, support economic development, and maintain critical transportation assets across Alaska's unique geographic landscape.
