Road work near Skagway will close the way to historic Dyea this fall
The dates and the walk-in alternative, in one place.
Dyea Flats Road in Alaska's Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park will have single-lane traffic with flaggers October 15–23 and November 18–23, and two full closures between October 24 and November 17 (about five to seven days, then 10 to 12) while crews replace culverts to reduce washout risk from extreme flooding. Exact closure dates will be announced as work progresses.
Instead of driving in: during full closures, visitors can park at the Chilkoot Trailhead and walk to the historic Dyea townsite, Slide Cemetery and Dyea Flats.
