NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS

Summer in Anchorage means endless days, outdoor recreation, and a busy and productive construction season. This summer lover 220 projects are breaking ground in the Anchorage bowl, ranging from trail upgrades, to park projects, street paving, power grid improvements, and enhancements to our drinking and waste water systems.

Phase one construction begins at Muldoon Town Square Park, bringing a long anticipated city center to East Anchorage. Bridges along the Coastal Trail will be replaced for safety and the South Anchorage Sports Park will receive much needed renovations. For more information and to see a full list of the projects, click here.

Many streets in Anchorage will see resurfacing projects, drainage enhancements, or improved sidewalks. Please be on the lookout for construction workers or minor changes in traffic patterns.
