AMATS Technical Advisory Committee Recommends Moving Bridge Construction to 2018 or Later

By a vote of 10-1 on February 11, 2010 with the Alaska Railroad Corporation the only dissenter, the Anchorage Metropolitan Area Transportation Solutions (AMATS) Technical Advisory Committee recommended that the Knik Arm Bridge become a long-term project in Anchorage's Long Range Transportation Plan. This vote means that construction would not begin until 2018 or later. The AMATS Technical Advisory Committee recommendation now goes to the Anchorage Assembly for a vote in March. Following the Assembly's action, the AMATS Policy Committee will consider whether or not to adopt the recommendation.
