Nome is a regional center of transportation for surrounding villages. The Port of Nome plays an essential role in regional transportation infrastructure. Nome is primarily accessible by air, although containerized household goods, building materials, vehicles, heavy equipment, and all petroleum products arrive by water during summer months. There are 10-12 cargo barges and 8-10 fuel barges/tankers that make scheduled deliveries each season. An additional trans-loading facility in the Inner Harbor was built in 2013 to address congestion at the existing barge ramp and allow more efficient transfers of cargo and rolling stock. The Small Boat Harbor plays host to about 25 commercial fishing vessels and a large offshore mining fleet which at times exceeds capacity. Alaska DOT's Snake River Bridge Replacement Project was completed in 2013 and will facilitate the increased traffic to and from the Port. Two state-owned airports are located in the community. The Nome Airport, located one mile northwest of the City, has two paved runways. Nome City Field, less than one mile north of the City, offers an additional gravel strip. Scheduled jet flights are available, as well as charter and helicopter services. Regional travel is facilitated by a network of 230 miles of gravel roads between Nome and the communities of Teller, Solomon, and Council. A network of winter trails links with outlying communities during winter months.
