Seward Highway Mile Post 14 Railroad Crossing Reconstruction

Project Overview

The Seward Highway Mile Post (MP) 14 Railroad Crossing Reconstruction project will replace the existing structure at MP 14 with a bridge to accommodate the Alaska Railroad Corporation’s (ARRC) planned project to increase to track elevation.

The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF) is currently designing the bridge and associated improvements on the Seward Highway and is assessing the potential for erosion along the riverbank. Based on the results of analysis, the project may include work to protect the highway embankment from damage caused by glacial outburst floods.
