Menard said in a statement that she has been a vocal advocate in favor of the Knik Arm bridge and is looking forward to have a direct role in shaping the project’s future.
The Knik Arm bridge project, for short KABATA, was established by the State legislature in 2003 to construct a bridge across Knik Arm connecting the Municipality of Anchorage and the Mat-Su Borough. When built, the bridge would significantly shorten the distance from Anchorage to the Mat-Su valley.
The project went through the environmental impact statement process and the Federal Highway Administration is expected to enter a record of decision this year.
