Overview The grade-separated interchange will raise the Seward Highway on a bridge crossing over 92nd Avenue. The interchange includes slip ramps to and from the south. (A slip ramp provides a lane for vehicles to merge into Seward Highway traffic.) The work will extend 92nd Avenue from Vanguard Drive to Old Seward Highway crossing Homer Drive (west frontage road, to be constructed as part of this project) and Brayton Drive (east frontage road in place today). The section of 92nd Avenue between frontage roads will be four lanes, with a through-lane in each direction and side-by-side left-turn bays. The Homer Drive frontage road will be developed from Dimond Boulevard south, past the 92nd Avenue connection, providing access to 92nd Avenue and southbound Seward Highway. In addition, 92nd Avenue will be extended as a two-lane road west to Old Seward Highway from Homer Drive frontage road. Currently the 92nd Avenue alignment is called Academy Drive on the segment east of the Seward Highway and Abbott Road on the segment west of the Seward Highway. <<insert visual of interchange from several perspectives coming soon>> The adopted Anchorage Metro Area Transportation Solutions (AMATS) Anchorage Bowl 2027 Long-Range Transportation Plan describes the 92nd Avenue Grade Separation project as a new collector road from Homer Drive to Brayton Drive, and includes sidewalks on both sides. When completed, the project will provide access to the Old Seward Highway/Dimond Boulevard commercial district and the residential and commercial areas near and east of Abbott Road. It is part of the larger Seward Highway, Rabbit Creek Road to 36th Avenue, project that has been state-funded as a stand-alone project. In addition, the 92nd Avenue Grade Separation project is included in the “Connect Anchorage” initiative between the Municipality of Anchorage and the State of Alaska. The initiative’s goal is to provide municipal, state and federal funding for a list of projects, including the 92nd Avenue Grade Separation project. The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) is sensitive to the needs of local residents and businesses, and is committed to working with you to address your concerns.
