Officials are urging drivers to use caution when the road connecting Lowell Point to Seward reopens this Friday after being cut off by a landslide for nearly three weeks. Intermittent closures will return next week as more blasting work is done.
A boat maneuvers on May 9 near a landslide that buried the Lowell Point Road two days earlier in Seward.
According to the announcement, drivers should expect a slight rise in the road when passing by the debris pile from the slide. There are large boulders on the sea side of the road as well as barriers on the mountain side, “to mitigate any safety issues,” the update said. Drivers should also be aware of a large ditch below the landslide area that should catch any additional debris.
A mix of residents, visitors and people working in Lowell Point at the time of the slide needed their vehicles and equipment on the other side, Ahlberg said. The borough is covering the cost to move those vehicles, and will be reimbursed through a disaster declaration that was made for the emergency.
