Flooding that damaged portions of the Richardson Highway has temporarily closed the road while crews from the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities work to replace culverts.
Department Spokesperson Danielle Tessen said that a blocked culvert near mile 187 of the Richardson Highway had caused Meier Lake’s water level to rise, and an old culvert had failed at approximately mile 167. Tessen said that luckily, department crews were located less than a mile away and were able to respond quickly to a large hole that developed in the highway asphalt at mile 167.
Tessen said that the Richardson Highway could tentatively open by 9 p.m. Friday night to one lane of traffic. “Underneath the road the culvert became detached, meaning water then began, you know, running underneath the road, and so the issue really became with that culvert no longer working and functioning properly,” Tessen said. “We’re ripping up the road, taking out that old culvert, installing the new culvert in there, we’re going to put gravel on top so we’re not doing a whole paving production. At this time, our goal is to get that road open as quickly as possible.
