Richardson Highway

The long-awaited road analysis examining the route used by trucks carrying gold ore from Tetlin to Fairbanks has been released by Kinney Engineering, the research firm contracted by the state Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. The study reports on the 247 miles of the Alaska, Richardson and Steese Highways between the mine and the Kinross gold mill.

The Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly last week authorized the state to proceed with replacing the bridges on the Richardson Highway that cross over the Chena Spillway. But they added a recommendation that the new design include a better plan for pedestrians and bicyclists.

The citizen committee set up to analyze the highway corridor between the Mahn Choh gold mine in Tetlin and the Fort Knox mill talked about highway bridges again Thursday, Oct. 12.

The main artery between Fairbanks and Valdez opened yesterday, after being closed a week due to flooding. The Richardson Highway is open but still has lots of damage.
