The Central Region Maintenance & Operations (M&O) Division is headquartered in the Department of Transportation & Public Facilities building located at 4111 Aviation Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska.
Central Region M&O is led by a Maintenance & Operations Chief, and staffed by over 250 full-time or part-time/seasonal M&O personnel, including managers, foremen, equipment operators, mechanics, building maintenance specialists, and various administrative workers. The M&O management includes one Region Manager, four District Superintendents, a Regional Buildings Maintenance Manager, and a Regional Safety Officer.
The Central Region’s M&O response territory is divided into four districts: Matanuska-Susitna, Anchorage, Kenai Peninsula-Kodiak Island, and Southwest.
There are 30 Maintenance Stations in the Central Region M&O system, each situated and staffed to handle the primary highway, airport, building, and equipment maintenance needs of adjacent segments of Central Alaska’s transportation infrastructure.
The Region maintains over 4900 lane miles of roads, and over 900 lane miles of runways. It cares for 262 bridges, 267 public buildings, over 1,000 pieces of equipment, and 108 airports. This consists of eight primary airports located in, Adak, Homer, Kodiak, Cold Bay, Unalaska, King Salmon, Dillingham, and Bethel. These eight airports are certificated by the FAA under the federal government’s Part 139 regulations, and operated to meet those crucial standards and guidelines. Local contractors maintain 76 of the Central Region’s smaller, community airports, while ADOT&PF CR Maintenance crews manage the other airports – generally via access from the State’s road system.
Central Region is also responsible for maintenance and operations of the Whittier Tunnel, the longest highway tunnel in North America at 2.5 miles. The tunnel is located approximately 50 miles south of Anchorage connecting the City of Whittier with the Portage Valley.
