June 2023

Master Plan Underway:

The Airport has kicked off a Master Plan Update, which provides Airport management and the State of Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF) with a comprehensive study and describes short-, medium-, and long-term development plans to meet future aviation demands. A virtual public meeting is available now through June 13, 2023. Please visit us at www.ancmpu.com to view the virtual meeting, sign up for email updates, leave a comment, and learn more.

Parking Limitations:

The South Terminal Parking Garage construction is ongoing. Parking continues to be exceedingly limited throughout the duration of the project. Travelers should allot extra time to either find parking on or off-site. Please obey all construction information signs around the airport and drive safely. Learn more about parking options and the construction project at: ANC Parking Garage Partial Closure – Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ancairport.com)

No RVs or Other Oversized Vehicles Under the South Terminal Loop Bridge:

A gentle reminder that any vehicle over 10’6” (RVs, sprinter vans, oversize vehicles, etc.) must use the commercial curb at the South Terminal. There is a sign with flashing lights to warn drivers of the height restriction before the entrance under the South Terminal Loop bridge. There is also a safe turnout to use to switch to the commercial pickup curb.

RV damage caused from hitting the underside of the bridge can be substantial, not to mention the cost of damage to ANC infrastructure. If you do not know how tall your vehicle is, please do not go under the Terminal Loop Bridge.

Lake Hood Seaplane Base:

Lake Hood summer operations are in full swing! Please be mindful of all taxiing aircraft as they have the right-of-way on all surfaces, to include the roadways surrounding Lakes Hood and Spenard. All pets on airport property must be on a leash. This is for your pet’s safety and that of aircraft and people onboard.

Out for Bid:

The Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Land Lease ADA-32370 on Lake Hood Seaplane Base (commonly referred to as K Lot) is open. The online public notice is posted at http://notice.alaska.gov/211282. To request a copy of the ITB packet, which is public information and free of charge, contact Taylor Beardsley at Taylor.Beardsley@alaska.gov or 907-266-2458 in the ANC Leasing Department.

Wildlife on Airport:

Moose frequently wander into areas around the airport where they are in dangerously close proximity to humans. Making potential encounters more precarious is that cow moose are now accompanied by calves. Cows with calves are more aggressive than normal. People are heavily advised to steer clear of wildlife whether on a local trail, near a roadway or in a parking area.

Upcoming Road Construction:

  • A road rehabilitation project along Aircraft and Lakeshore drives (from Voight Circle to the Lake Hood west property boundary south of Runway 14/33) is expected to occur in late July/early August.
  • A road rehabilitation project along Postmark Drive from West Northern Lights to Rockwell Avenue is slated for late July.
