Right lane closed on New Seward Hwy at MP 124 for guardrail repairs

Drivers heading northbound toward Anchorage on the New Seward Highway should plan for a right lane closure at mile marker 124 Tuesday as Alaska DOT&PF conducts guardrail and fencing repairs.

The work window runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Alaska 511 classifies the closure as minor severity, with no full road closure in effect. The event is listed as active all day and is tracked under Alaska 511 event number 34999.

Broader Corridor Work

The repair comes amid ongoing guardrail work along the Seward Highway corridor. As broader background on regional highway safety, Alaska DOT&PF's Safer Seward Highway Project is separately preparing a NEPA environmental assessment that, in its own words, "considers multiple ways to reduce the number of crashes permanently" along approximately 20 miles of the highway. That project addresses other segments of the corridor and is not confirmed as the source of this specific repair.
