Narrative:
The txwys at anchorage international airport were under repair and the normal taxi route to runway 32 was closed. I listened to ATIS and learned of the taxiway closures. Ground controller was monitoring my progress and gave me directions to use a different intersection than I had planned. The taxiway markings were not clear. The taxiway markings should be improved, especially when repairs/construction on the airport require aircraft to use txwys and intxns not commonly used. I taxied across a hold line for runway 32 west/O noticing it. It was a 45 degree high speed intersection. There was no runway incursion. I had begun stopping the aircraft before ATC (ground control) noticed that I had xed the hold line and directed me to back taxi to await clearance from the tower. The hold line was not in its apparent proximity (visibility perception) to the runway. Better markings of hold lines and txwys would avoid this type of incident.

Title: LIGHT TWIN PLT MAKES UNAUTH RWY ENTRY AT ANC, LESS THAN PERFECT RWY TXWY MARKINGS DUE CONSTRUCTION NOTED.
Narrative: THE TXWYS AT ANCHORAGE INTL ARPT WERE UNDER REPAIR AND THE NORMAL TAXI RTE TO RWY 32 WAS CLOSED. I LISTENED TO ATIS AND LEARNED OF THE TXWY CLOSURES. GND CTLR WAS MONITORING MY PROGRESS AND GAVE ME DIRECTIONS TO USE A DIFFERENT INTXN THAN I HAD PLANNED. THE TXWY MARKINGS WERE NOT CLR. THE TXWY MARKINGS SHOULD BE IMPROVED, ESPECIALLY WHEN REPAIRS/CONSTRUCTION ON THE ARPT REQUIRE ACFT TO USE TXWYS AND INTXNS NOT COMMONLY USED. I TAXIED ACROSS A HOLD LINE FOR RWY 32 W/O NOTICING IT. IT WAS A 45 DEG HIGH SPD INTXN. THERE WAS NO RWY INCURSION. I HAD BEGUN STOPPING THE ACFT BEFORE ATC (GND CTL) NOTICED THAT I HAD XED THE HOLD LINE AND DIRECTED ME TO BACK TAXI TO AWAIT CLRNC FROM THE TWR. THE HOLD LINE WAS NOT IN ITS APPARENT PROX (VIS PERCEPTION) TO THE RWY. BETTER MARKINGS OF HOLD LINES AND TXWYS WOULD AVOID THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT.
