Meeting Our Infrastructure Needs, Construction Paves The Way For A Better Alaska.

"MEET THE MATCH"
Alaska’s roads, bridges, and airports are built through a partnership between the state and the federal government. When Alaska meets the federal match, a relatively small state investment unlocks more than half a billion dollars for transportation projects statewide.
Federal highway funding works on a 9-to-1 match — for every $1 Alaska contributes, the federal government provides about $9. If the state does not meet the match, those federal dollars are lost to other states.
As of December 2025, the match has not yet been met. Governor Dunleavy’s budget includes a $70 million supplemental to restore the match and keep projects moving.
If action isn’t taken soon, summer construction projects could be delayed, affecting jobs, local businesses, safety improvements, and community connectivity. The state fiscal year ends June 30, 2026, making this a time-sensitive decision.
Meeting the federal match keeps Alaska’s transportation projects on schedule and strengthens communities across the state.
