Road Conditions
Updated: Saturday November 22nd
Arctic Valley Road is in good winter driving condition. We only recommend travel for vehicles well-equipped for winter travel. Please follow speed limits and drive smart!
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.
