Road conditions
Closures and crashes from AK 511, on one map with the route and mile marker. Below it: the live cameras, and what the season does to Alaska's highways. For the whole country, see the US closures map. City traffic cameras: Anchorage and Fairbanks.
The Alaska DOT feed lists 1 closure-type alert, 0 crashes and 0 roadwork alerts on numbered highways right now. Closure-type alerts include lane closures, so read each one. Listed:
Read on Nov 1, 1:42 PM PT. Chain and traction rules are on the Alaska chain law page. A feed with no closure is not a promise a road is open. The map below updates live.
In October 2026, Alaska's DOT feed carried 172 alerts: 1 closure, 3 crashes and 166 construction reports. The routes with the most alerts were Richardson Highway, Seward Highway and Dalton Highway. Counts reflect what the feed publishes, so a state whose DOT posts only closures shows only closures. See the full Alaska report.

ReportWhat the AK 511 feed carried over the holiday weekend.
The Glenn Highway runs northeast from Anchorage through Palmer toward Glennallen. The Parks Highway connects Anchorage and Fairbanks past Denali. The Seward Highway follows Turnagain Arm south from Anchorage to Seward on the Kenai Peninsula. The Richardson Highway links Valdez to Fairbanks, and the Sterling Highway carries fishing traffic to Soldotna and Homer.
Winter runs long. AK 511 posts surface conditions such as black ice and packed snow by highway, and the Seward Highway closes for avalanche control along Turnagain Arm. The Dalton Highway north of Fairbanks is mostly gravel, with services hundreds of miles apart. Moose on the road are a year-round hazard, worst in the dark months.
The map above shows full closures from the AK 511 feed as red markers, crashes in orange, and weather and hazard alerts in blue and purple. Closures the DOT has posted for a future date are listed as scheduled, and ramp and lane closures sit under the toggle so the list stays readable. The page checks MileCheck's feed every five minutes. If the feed cannot be reached the page says so instead of showing an empty map. For the official list, open AK 511.
