	The Knik Arm Crossing Project is being developed to meet the current and projected transportation needs of the Municipality of Anchorage and the Mat-Su Borough. KABATA’s goal is to construct a cost-affordable, vehicular toll bridge of about 2 miles across Knik Arm to join the Port of Anchorage area and Port MacKenzie area. The purpose of this project is to build a bridge to fulfill the following needs: • An efficient link between the operations and infrastructure of the two ports; • An alternate north-south emergency response and disaster evacuation route; • Transportation infrastructure for existing and projected population and economic growth; and • Implementing the Alaska legislative mandate.
