Seward Glenn Connection PEL Study

Overview:

This study will identify and evaluate options to improve safety, livability, regional travel between the Seward and Glenn Highways, and local travel within the surrounding neighborhoods. Currently, the two controlled access freeways are connected through the study area by slower-speed arterial roads. The study will also identify ways to improve access between the Port of Alaska and the highway network.
The study is being prepared as a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study. To find out more about how a PEL Study works, please see the Study Description page.

Public Outreach:

The PEL Study will be successful only if there is meaningful and continued public involvement in the process. Diverse public involvement helps DOT&PF make decisions that meet public needs and desires. The public will have several opportunities to engage with the project team.
