Utility work closes Peger Road southbound right lane in Fairbanks through Friday

Utility work is closing the right southbound lane of Peger Road in Fairbanks this week, from the Johansen Expressway to Airport Way, according to the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities.

The lane closes from 8 am to 2 pm each weekday, Monday through Friday. The closure began Monday, Nov. 9, at 8 am, and the work is scheduled to end Friday, Nov. 13, at 1:51 pm, according to the department's listing on Alaska 511, the state's road-condition and traffic-event service.

The road is not fully closed. Only one lane is affected, and the listing covers only the southbound direction.

The department posted a similar right-lane closure on southbound Peger Road last week. That work zone sat one mile south of the Johansen Expressway, and the lane closed from 8 am to 2 pm Wednesday through Friday, Nov. 4 through Nov. 6, according to the Alaska 511 listing for that closure.

Alaska 511 says it updates construction listings weekly, or more often when information changes. The current listing was last updated Monday at 1:55 pm. Drivers can check Alaska 511 for changes to the schedule before heading out.
