It links the Seward Highway, south of Anchorage at the former town of Portage with the relatively isolated community of Whittier, a port for the Alaska Marine Highway. It is part of the Portage Glacier Highway and at 13,300 feet (4050 m), is the second largest highway tunnel and the longest combined rail and highway tunnel in North America.

Anchorage to Whittier 2.30pm, 3.30pm, 4.30pm ... ...
Whittier to Anchorage 2.00pm, 3.00pm, 4.00pm ... ...
