Noorvik is accessible by plane and by shallow-draft vessels, with no roads connection to other communities. The state-owned Robert (Bob) Curtis Memorial Airport has a lighted gravel runway. Several regional air taxis provide service to Kotzebue and surrounding cities. Crowley Marine Services barges fuel and supplies during the summer. Boats, ATVs, and snow machines are common means of transportation locally. Construction of two new roads, one from the old airport that will connect to the new Airport road, and the other connecting to the school, is scheduled for the summer of 2014. During the spring break up, some roads have been impacted by flooding or erosion.
