West Susitna Access Road Project
Draft Programmatic Agreement
Available for Public Review
April 23, 2026 through May 23, 2026
The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) is providing notice of a public review period for the Draft Programmatic Agreement (PA) for the West Susitna Access Road Project.
The Draft PA has been developed in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and its implementing regulations (36 CFR Part 800). It outlines the process by which DOT&PF, in coordination with consulting parties, will identify, evaluate, and resolve potential effects to historic properties associated with the project.
The public comment period begins April 23, 2026, and closes May 23, 2026. Pursuant to 36 CFR 800.2(d), DOT&PF invites members of the public and interested organizations to review the Draft PA and submit comments during this time.
The Draft Programmatic Agreement is available for review on the project website:
West Susitna Access Public PA Review - PublicInput
Comments may be submitted online through the website or by email at:
This public review is being conducted in coordination with, but is separate from, ongoing government-to-government consultation with Tribal entities under Section 106. Tribal review of the Draft PA began in March and will continue as needed. Tribal consultation remains a distinct process and is not replaced by public comment.
The Draft PA establishes a framework for phased identification, evaluation, and treatment of historic properties as project design and construction progress. It also outlines procedures for consultation, monitoring, inadvertent discoveries, and ongoing reporting.
