Where is the Lake Hood Fence Removal project located?

The fence runs along the edge of Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) property from West Northern Lights Boulevard north of Lake Hood to the end of West 44th Avenue.

Why is the fence being taken down?

The fence is also redundant and not needed since there is another fence that encloses airport property. The ANC does not have the funding to maintain or replace the fence. Without regular maintenance and repairs, the fence poses a safety hazard.

Why is the fence not being replaced?

There is a wildlife control fence already installed around the airport, which makes this fence nonessential. The cost for repairs to and/or replacement of the existing fence is expensive and beyond the ANC budget.

When will the fence be taken down?

Fence removal is planned for November 2026.
