Road Conditions
Updated: Sunday February 8th
Arctic Valley Road has been sanded. Please exercise caution, and note that pullouts have not been sanded. AWD/4WD vehicles recommended. Please drive cautiously.
Below is the current schedule for military live fire exercises on Arctic Valley Road:
For most exercises, road guards will allow traffic to flow every 20-30 minutes in each direction. For some exercises, the waits may be 30-40 minutes. The road (unless noted above) should not be ‘closed’. If road guards are communicating longer wait times than those listed above, or telling you the road is closed, please call JBER Range Control at 907-384-6230 and report the issue. They will work to make sure the units conducting training are following the road access rules.
