🚧 Follow the Leader: The Parks Highway Edition

Back to the slow roll. 🚧 Pilot cars are officially back in action on the Parks Highway near MP 325. Expect delays if you’re heading north toward Fairbanks or Denali today! | Alaska 511

RVs, Roadwork, and Rolling Delays * Hurry Up and Wait: Stage 1 Begins

If you’re driving the Parks Highway today, construction is moving again between Milepost 319 and 325.

That means pilot cars are back out and traffic is getting funneled through the zone with short, rolling delays. If you’re leaving Wasilla or anywhere in the Mat-Su Valley, you’ve still got roughly 4 hours of driving before you hit this work zone. It sits way up the line between Nenana and Fairbanks, so by the time you get there, you’re already deep into Interior travel and fully committed to the slow roll.

It also hits tourists pretty hard right now. A lot of summer traffic is headed toward Denali National Park and Preserve, so you’ll see RVs, rentals, and sightseeing traffic stacked up behind the pilot car.

Crews are in Stage 1 reconstruction, and the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities has traffic running 24 hours a day through the work zone, Monday through Saturday.

Nothing fancy here, just expect stops, expect slow rolls, and give yourself a little extra time if you’re heading through that Interior corridor today.
