Burn permits in the Mat-Su, Kenai-Kodiak, and Copper River Prevention Areas are suspended beginning Saturday, June 21, because of an increase in fire activity in Interior Alaska and limited fire resources from across the state to respond to escaped fires. The suspension will remain in place until fire activity is reduced, and resources become more readily available. With multiple fires across the Alaskan landscape, fire managers from across the state are prioritizing fires and shifting resources from one location to another across the state to provide the most rapid response to new and existing fires. Fire resources stationed in the Kenai, Mat-Su and Copper River response areas have been mobilized to the Interior of Alaska to assist with new initial attack fires and rapid rates of spread brought on by unseasonably warm temperatures, receptive fuels and an abundance of lightning associated with our current weather pattern. Burning of debris piles, lawns, or utilizing a burn barrel is prohibited, as well as any fires that require a burn permit.

⚠️June 15 Evening Updates HIGHWAY

This emergency closure was initiated Saturday, June 14, due to a major washout at MP 315, where a failed culvert caused an 80-foot-wide, 30-foot-deep breach across the full width of the roadway. The closure from MP 305 to MP 356 remains in effect due to flooding, washouts, and erosion.

❗At this time, the closure is expected to remain in effect until , June 18. More detailed updates will be provided following Monday’s operations.

Our primary goal is to safety restore one-lane access as soon as conditions allow, with traffic control measures in place throughout the ongoing repair work.
