Seasonal closures · Alaska
4 roads in Alaska close for the winter on a schedule the agency publishes. Each page below shows what the AK 511 feed is posting for that route right now and quotes the closing and reopening dates from the agency's own page. The dates move with the snow. Storm closures on roads that stay open all winter are on the Alaska road conditions page.

AK-5Winter maintenance ends Oct. 15 and resumes in early April.
McCarthy RoadRegular maintenance ends Oct. 1 and resumes in spring.
Eureka/Rampart RoadMaintenance ends Oct. 1. Reopens in early spring.
A seasonal closure is a gate the agency locks for the winter, not a storm closure. AK 511 posts storm closures and chain rules in its feed, and those show on the Alaska road conditions page. A seasonal gate is announced on the agency's page and sometimes in the feed too. Each road page reads the feed for its route and lists whatever is posted, and says plainly when nothing is.
Closing dates in these pages are the ones the agency gives, with the date MileCheck read them. None of them is a prediction. When an agency has not posted dates for the 2026-27 winter, the page says that.
