Feds chop Richardson Highway bridge replacement in decision on amendment to Alaska’s transportation funding planFAIRBANKS, Alaska - The $97.5 million Richardson Highway Milepost 346 Chena Flood Control Bridge Replacement project is hitting a new roadblock.
In its rejection of the bridge replacement, FHWA’s Sept. 26 decision weighs in on a boundary dispute between AKDOT and Fairbanks Area Surface Transportation Planning. The Fairbanks North Star Borough’s Planning Commission reviewed the project in March, recommending that the FNSB assembly deny handing over local planning authority to AKDOT. In late April, the assembly overruled the commission’s recommendation, voting 5-4 to give AKDOT the necessary local authority to pursue the project.
An ongoing conformity freeze imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency, which restricts the way transportation planners can obligate and expend federal funds in FNSB’s federal air quality nonattainment area, had threatened to trip up the department’s ability to pursue the project. “That’s the minimum boundary in which our organization has to include in our larger Metropolitan Planning Area boundary,” he said.
