	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 2.7 miles across Knik Arm to join the Port of Anchorage area and Port MacKenzie area, as well as 19 miles of road to support the bridge's accessibility. 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.
