The realignment will remove two railroad crossings just south of the main park entrance for Denali National Park and Preserve. The crossings consist of an at-grade crossing at MP 235 and a rail over highway bridge crossing at MP 236.5. We are currently working on conceptual designs, engineering, and environmental studies, as well as soliciting public comments. Construction is currently planned for 2030-2032. Please join us at a public open house to learn more about the project, ask questions, and provide input!
