Ever wonder what it's like to drive the Dalton Highway in winter? Have a little taste from the comfort of... well, anywhere else. This video was shot after an avalanche in Atigun Pass last weekend shut the highway down overnight. Our maintenance crews opened the road up the next morning and there is now one lane open to traffic. This may seem like a lot of snow for November, but it's business-as-usual for the Dalton! | Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities
