Major Gravel Haul Will Raise Dalton Highway

Alaska Department of Transportation

A contractor is expected to begin work soon building up a portion of the Dalton Highway severely damaged  earlier this year by overflow ice and spring flooding from the Sag River.   As KUAC’s Dan Bross reports, it’s part of a plan to armor the major North Slope oil field supply conduit against future ice and flood impacts.

Dan has been in public radio news in Alaska since 1993. He’s worked as a reporter, newscaster and talk show host at stations in McGrath, Valdez and Fairbanks. Dan’s experience includes coverage of a wide range of topics, from wolf control to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and dog mushing.
