Road conditions
Every closure and crash AK 511 is publishing, 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.

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 every full closure AK 511 is publishing as a red marker, 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. It reloads 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.
AK 511 is the official source, and dialing 511 in most states reaches the same information by phone. This page reads the same AK 511 feed and adds the Alaska cameras, the corridor and pass pages, and your own mile marker if you carry the app.
Every five minutes. MileCheck's server fetches the AK 511 feed, converts it to one format shared by all 50 states, and caches it for five minutes. Each alert also carries the time the DOT last updated it, shown in the list.
