The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) is seeking public comments on a proposed floodplain‑encroachment preventative‑maintenance project for nine bridges across the Central Region (Anchorage, Kenai Peninsula, and Matanuska‑Susitna boroughs). The work includes deck overlays, joint repairs, abutment back‑wall repairs, and debris removal, with all activities confined to bridge approaches, decks, abutments, drainages, and piers. No in‑water work is planned for most bridges; a few sites involve debris removal below ordinary high water. The project will be carried out in 2027 and must comply with multiple federal environmental statutes. Stakeholders are asked to submit comments by October 7, 2026. • Nine bridge sites identified, each with specific flood‑zone designations (AE, D, or none). • Scope limited to structural repairs and deck overlays; no major flood‑plain elevation changes anticipated. • Environmental compliance required under Section 106 NHPA, Executive Orders 11990/11988, Clean Air/Water Acts, etc. • Public comment period ends 10/07/2026; contact is Heidi Zimmer (environmental manager). • No procurement or contract award is indicated; this is a public notice soliciting feedback.
