What is H2H?
The Seward Highway to Glenn Highway Connection project is being undertaken by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) (Federal Lead Agency), the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) (Joint Lead Agency), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) (Joint Lead Agency) in cooperation with the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) (Cooperating Agency) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) (Cooperating Agency). The purpose of the project is to reduce congestion by improving mobility and access for people and goods that use the arterial connection between the Seward and Glenn highways. The proposed improvements, also referred to as the H2H project, would use federal transportation funds making the project a federal action. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is being prepared to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
