The Knik Arm Bridge and Toll Authority (KABATA), was created on September 15, 2003 by Alaska Statute 19.75.011 to construct a bridge across Knik Arm connecting the Municipality of Anchorage and the Mat-Su Borough. KABATA has received preliminary planning funds through Congressional appropriation. Future project funds are anticipated through federal, state and local grants, and public and private sector investment. As a public corporation, KABATA is empowered by the state to sell revenue bonds and establish user fees to fund and operate the project.

On June 13, 2006 enabling Legislation (HB471) was signed into law (Chapter 60 SLA 06) by the Governor amending the KABATA Act (Amended AS 19.75) giving KABATA the powers and authority of the authority to finance construction and maintenance of the Knik Arm Bridge, to set and collect tolls, and to carry out its duties; and providing for an effective date of June 14, 2006.

Federal funding for project development required that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) be prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Public and Inter-agency scoping began in 2005, and in 2006 a draft EIS was published. Following public hearings and response to comments, a final EIS was issued in 2008. A Record of Decision from the Federal Highway Administration is expected in 2010.

The KABATA Office is located in the State Office (Atwood) Building
550 West 7th Avenue, Room 1850
