Juneau, Alaska (KINY) – The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) will be conducting Avalanche Hazard Reduction above Thane Road on Tuesday, January 16, between 12 pm and 2 pm (weather dependent). Thane Road will be closed at the avalanche gates during that time. The purpose of this mission is to remove accumulated snow and potentially reduce the risk of larger avalanches that could impact Thane Road. If an avalanche reaches the roadway, it is likely that an extended closure will be necessary to remove debris.
