Parks Highway ramps at Geist close tonight for resurfacing

Three Parks Highway ramps at Geist Road close at 7 p.m. June 11, 2026, for resurfacing work. Travelers should use University Avenue as the detour route.

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities will close the northbound off-ramp, southbound off-ramp, and northbound on-ramp at Geist Road as part of the Chena Pump and Chena Ridge resurfacing project. All three appear as full closures in the Alaska 511 system.

Motorists on the Parks Highway near the University of Alaska Fairbanks area should use University Avenue to reach destinations normally accessed via the Geist Road ramps.

The closure notices do not list a reopening time.
