AFSCME is heartbroken and outraged by the senseless murder of fellow union member Alex Jeffrey Pretti and the violence and intimidation enacted by this administration. We will not let fear destroy the bonds that hold our communities together.

#SouthcentralAlaska: We cannot overemphasize how odd the weather has been for the past 60-72 hours. What made matters worse was the early morning shift back to snow--the warmer asphalt conditions ensured that it became ice almost instantly. Our crews worked throughout the weekend to thaw culverts, clear debris, and patch the growing number of potholes (asphalt, ice and water are always a bad combo). They've switched back as quickly as they can to sanders and graders. While conditions are improving, we ask for your patience today, moderate speed and drive with caution. We will post updates here as conditions change. You may also check 511 at: 511.alaska.gov/ Have a question that we haven't addressed here? Email us at [email protected] Picture of DOT&PF Maintenance working on flooded storm drain at 2 a.m. 1/26/25.
