U.S. Senators Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski have announced that Alaska will receive over $47 million in grants aimed at improving transportation infrastructure across the state. These funds, allocated through the Department of Transportation’s RAISE grant program, are part of the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act and annual appropriations.
Senator Sullivan highlighted the importance of these investments, stating, "Alaska is a young, resource-rich, infrastructure-poor state, which means our state needs the substantial federal infrastructure investments that other states have benefited from for decades." He noted that these projects are vital for ensuring safe transportation access and strengthening supply chains. The senator also emphasized that these efforts will unlock economic opportunities for Alaskans.
Senator Murkowski echoed these sentiments by noting the wide-ranging impacts of these grants. She stated, “From Nome to the Western Aleutians, these grants from U.S. Department of Transportation will have significant impacts on Alaskans, investing in resilient infrastructure as well as research and planning efforts that will make Alaska more accessible and connected.”
The grant awards are expected to revitalize road, rail, and maritime transportation connections throughout various communities in Alaska.
