Seward Highway: 36th Avenue Interchange
Seward Highway: 36th Avenue Interchange
The Seward Highway: 36th Avenue Interchange project will improve safety and reduce delays by constructing a new interchange at the intersection of Seward Highway and 36th Avenue. The intersention of the Seward Highway and 36th Avenue is one of the busiest intersections with the most crashes in the Anchorage bowl. Bicyclists and pedestrians report that it is difficult to cross the highway and users report a general lack of east-west connectivity in the area. Planned improvements include grade separations, highway ramps, non-motorized facilities, and new frontage roads connecting Tudor Road to 36th Avenue.
This project will:
- Improve flow for all travel modes
- Support the separation of local trips from through trips
- Improve facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists
- Increase safety, and
- Reduce delays.
The project area measures approximately one mile along the Seward Highway. It also extends along 36th Avenue between approximately LaTouche Street to the east and Denali Street to the west.
