The DOT caps off work on road projects in the FNSB as winter settles in.
Final few road projects are wrapping up as winter settles inPublished: Oct. 19, 2023 at 8:59 AM AKDTFAIRBANKS, Alaska - As temperatures drop and roads freeze over, the Alaska Dept. of Transportation faces a rush to finish up a few projects that remain incomplete. While some of those projects won’t be completed until the summer, completing the phases that begin this season is vital for winter traffic.
“Snow is less of an issue for us than temperatures are,” said John Perreault, an information officer for the DOT. “As long as the temperatures remain in a workable area, we can adjust our mixes for paving to continue paving operations.” Further up the highway, a temporary closure is planned for the weekend, starting Friday, Oct. 20, to wrap up remaining work at the GARS Intersection of Gaffney Road, Airport Way, the Richardson Highway, and Steese Expressway. “We’re installing a permanent light pole there; a signal pole at the intersection where people may have seen one temporary wire holding up at the intersection,” Perreault said. The DOT also intends to use the closure to adjust traffic light timing and improve traffic flow.
