    MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGE PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM PRC #09-43 DATE: September 29, 2009 TO: Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Holly J Spoth-Torres, Park Development & Natural Resources Manager SUBJECT: Highway to Highway Project Briefing: Seward Highway to Glenn Highway Who is on the Project Team? The Seward Highway to Glenn Highway Connection (H2H) project is being undertaken by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) (Federal Lead Agency), the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) (Joint Lead Agency), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) (Joint Lead Agency) in cooperation with the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) (Cooperating Agency) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) (Cooperating Agency). Project Team Mission Statement: “Balancing transportation needs with community values.” The project team will approach the project development process as a collaborative effort involving residents, businesses, and agencies in a meaningful dialog. We will develop context sensitive design and mitigation approaches to avoid and minimize community and natural resource impacts and balance community values. The team will develop a project that best meets the purpose and needs for the improvement, incorporates measures to avoid, minimize, and mitigate adverse effects on important community resources, and preserves or enhances community values. Project Team Objectives • Develop a project that is consistent with the transportation goals of the Anchorage 2020 Comprehensive Plan and 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan. • Develop streets that integrate the travel needs of all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians and transit. • Consider land use goals and neighborhood values as part of the context integrated into the completed project. What is the H2H project? The project will reduce congestion by improving mobility and access for people and goods that use the arterial connection between the Seward and Glenn highways.

  • Parks Highway Road Log
    Bell’s Travel Guides Parks Highway Road Log Mile by Mile Description of the Parks Highway so you always know what lies ahead. Anchorage, Alaska to Fairbanks, Alaska Over twelve years and $150 million went into the completion of this route which extends through 358 miles/576 km of Alaska's most rugged terrain. Yet this highway need not be feared, because it is the state's widest and best year-round road. There are over 40 bridges to cross with the longest being a 1050-foot span of the Susitna River at mile 104. The most spectacular, Hurricane Gulch Bridge, at mile 174.3 is only half the length of the Susitna Bridge, but it is a breathtaking 254 feet above the white water of Hurricane Creek. Denali, the nation's tallest peak, lies about half way between Anchorage and Fairbanks and can be seen from both areas on a clear day: but there's a much better view from mile 70 at Willow. At mile 104 there is a good view of the three tallest peaks in the Alaska Range: Foraker, Hunter and McKinley, left to right. At mile 132.5 you enter Denali State Park. Denali "The Great One" is the Indian name for North America's tallest peak. Perhaps the most spectacular view from the highway of this 20,320-foot mountain comes at mile 134.5. The mileage figures in the following highway description correspond to the numbers appearing on the mileposts in place along most of the highway. The description begins in Anchorage and follows the route's 358 miles to Fairbanks.

  • The Bridge Inventory Report
    Prepared by STATE OF ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC FACILITIES BRIDGE SECTION P.O. BOX 112500 3132 CHANNEL DRIVE JUNEAU, ALASKA 99811-2500 About the Cover Susitna River Denali Highway The Susitna River Bridge (number 0687) is a 1,039 ft long structure built in 1956. This bridge is constructed of a 90 ft long steel stringer approach span at the west end, a 165 ft long steel deck truss, fifteen steel stringer spans at the east and a laminated timber deck throughout. Alaska’s Denali Highway is a seasonal, mostly gravel corridor that connects the George Parks Highway (west at Cantwell) with the Richardson Highway (east at Paxson). When it opened in 1957, the highway provided the original access into the Denali National Park. Michael C. Higgs, Bridge Engineer with the Alaska Department of Transportation’s Bridge Section, masterfully created this overlaid pen and ink rendering. Mr. Higgs’ hand drawings have graced many previous Bridge Inventory covers. v INTRODUCTION This bridge inventory report is a periodic publication by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, Bridge Section. Summarized within are structural, dimensional, and location data of bridges and culverts that are biennially inspected by the Bridge Section. Other bridge structures are included for reference and informational purposes. Dimensions, clearances and postings are applicable at the time of publication, only.
