Pavement work will be completed on passing lanes at Mileposts 302-304 and 308-311.“We are adding three more passing lanes and finishing pavement on two lanes constructed in 2024,” explained Angela Stabs, Public Information Officer for the Alaska Northern Regions Transportation and Public Facilities. “This particular project is expected to run May through September.”Fairbanks bound travelers will also be seeing some road construction in the 12 Mile Village area.“This project is all about safety; we are redesigning a known trouble spot – which has a crash rate 2.5 times higher than the statewide average for intersections of this type – to a safer over/underpass design,” explained Stabs. “The goal of this project is to reduce turning conflict and reduce crashes. As for impact, there are access closures for the Old Richardson Highway to all businesses and residents via Santa Claus Lane. For those traveling, watch for speed limit signs, detour routes, and other important messaging during their commute.”If you are traveling to Anchorage, work is ongoing on the Glenn Highway Kink River Bridge with the northbound bridge being closed through late May and the southbound bridge will be closed later this summer. During the closure, traffic will be diverted to the alternate bridge with reduced lane widths to accommodate three lanes of traffic.A Lane Sipper will be used to realign concrete barriers each day to allow two lanes inbound toward anchorage in the morning and two lanes outbound during the afternoon to better accommodate traffic said the DOT in a press release.More information on all DOT construction projects can be found on the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities website dot.alaska.gov under the “projects” tab.</div></body>
