Anchorage Public Meeting: West Su Access

DOT is hosting an in person meeting in Anchorage as part of scoping in preparation for an Environmental Assessment for their portion of the West Susitna Access Road.

In July of 2023, DOT took over the first portion of the West Susitna Industrial Corridor and bridge across the Susitna as part of the DOT STIP plan from 2024-2027. This rebrand of the project segments the project into smaller pieces in an attempt to obscure the massive impacts of the entire project: a 100+ mile industrial corridor through a currently roadless swath of the Susitna drainage.

In early July of 2024, DOT announced the opening of a scoping comment period in preparation for an Environmental Assessment prior to the projected construction start timeline of 2025. The scoping comment period, to assess the potential impacts of the project, opened July 23rd and close on August 23rd.
