5 p.m. UPDATE: While crews will continue to work well into this evening, the Sterling Highway will remain closed until tomorrow, 11/1. The roadway remains at high risk of an additional slide and the continuing rain is flowing through the work area. The surrounding slopes are not stable. We will update you as to our progress as early as we can tomorrow morning.

Original messate: The Sterling Highway is closed in both directions at mile 50, just south of Cooper Landing, due to a landslide that is blocking both lanes of travel. Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities crews will be unable to safely asses the area and remove debris from the roadway until daylight. There is no estimated time that the highway will be open at this time.  Please avoid the area. We apologize for the inconvenience.
