Summary Initial Construction (Phase 1) Potential Future Expansion (Phase 2) to BRIDGE to BRIDGE to BRIDGE Degan Cut-and-Cover Tunnel • Includes a four-lane, cut-and-cover tunnel. • Access to/from the facility would require a stop and a turn. • A traffic signal would control the intersection with East Loop Road. EAST LOOP ROAD Erickson Cut-and-Cover Tunnel • Would include a two-lane, cut-and-cover tunnel. • On/off ramps constructed north and south of Government Hill. • Traffic would flow freely between East Loop Road and the facility (no traffic signal required). The preliminary design includes plans for potential future expansion (Phase 2) when traffic volumes would warrant its completion. In Anchorage, expanding the project would mean adding a connection to the Ingra‐Gambell Couplet and the future Highway-to-Highway Project with the Glenn and Seward Highways. These potential future expansions are noted above. EAST LOOP ROAD Degan Cut-and-Cover Tunnel to INGRA - GAMBELL • Signal intersection at East Loop Road would be replaced with a grade separation, allowing traffic to flow freely (no stops) through the tunnel and to/from the Ingra‐Gambell Couplet. • No direct access would be available between Government Hill and the Ingra‐Gambell Couplet. • Traffic to/from East Loop Road would gain access to the facility by way of Erickson Street and ramps north of Government Hill. EAST LOOP ROAD Erickson Cut-and-Cover Tunnel to INGRA - GAMBELL • Would expand to a six-lane, cut-and-cover tunnel. • A wider tunnel would allow main line traffic to flow freely through the tunnel to/from the Ingra‐Gambell Couplet, as well as ramp traffic to flow freely through the tunnel to/from East Loop Road. • On/off ramps would be expanded north of Government Hill. • No direct access would be available between Government Hill and the Ingra‐Gambell Couplet.
