Yukon Drive to close to west bound traffic through June 17
April 25, 2011
Due to a deep excavation along Yukon Drive for the new School of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences Research and Teaching Greenhouse, the contractor has requested that Yukon Drive be closed
to west bound traffic beginning on April 26 until June 17, 2011.
The road will be unsafe to travel on the northern edge of the west-bound lane. This
will cause a detour of west-bound traffic coming from lower campus along Yukon Drive
with a destination of Tanana Loop. The detour will be in effect north on Sheenjek
and west on Koyukuk out to Tanana Loop.
The east bound lane that would take you from Tanana Loop east towards the UA museum
will remain open. The detour will affect only through traffic and not UAF access to
the rear of the Arctic Health Building. Ghemm Co. will have a traffic control plan
in place. For more information about the Life Sciences Facility and a current construction
