  • The Bridge Inventory Report
    Prepared by STATE OF ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC FACILITIES BRIDGE SECTION P.O. BOX 112500 3132 CHANNEL DRIVE JUNEAU, ALASKA 99811-2500 About the Cover Susitna River Denali Highway The Susitna River Bridge (number 0687) is a 1,039 ft long structure built in 1956. This bridge is constructed of a 90 ft long steel stringer approach span at the west end, a 165 ft long steel deck truss, fifteen steel stringer spans at the east and a laminated timber deck throughout. Alaska’s Denali Highway is a seasonal, mostly gravel corridor that connects the George Parks Highway (west at Cantwell) with the Richardson Highway (east at Paxson). When it opened in 1957, the highway provided the original access into the Denali National Park. Michael C. Higgs, Bridge Engineer with the Alaska Department of Transportation’s Bridge Section, masterfully created this overlaid pen and ink rendering. Mr. Higgs’ hand drawings have graced many previous Bridge Inventory covers. v INTRODUCTION This bridge inventory report is a periodic publication by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, Bridge Section. Summarized within are structural, dimensional, and location data of bridges and culverts that are biennially inspected by the Bridge Section. Other bridge structures are included for reference and informational purposes. Dimensions, clearances and postings are applicable at the time of publication, only.

    9/27/2016 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Mail ­ BLM Special Action Request for Unit 13 Delegation of Authority to extend subsistence caribou season Howard, Amee <[email protected]> BLM Special Action Request for Unit 13 Delegation of Authority to extend subsistence caribou season 1 message Sharp, Daniel <[email protected]> Tue, Sep 27, 2016 at 3:03 PM To: Paul Mckee <[email protected]>, "Howard, Amee" <[email protected]> Cc: Dennis Teitzel <[email protected]>, Steven Cohn <[email protected]>, Marlo Draper <[email protected]>, Bud Cribley <[email protected]> Chris, The BLM Glennallen Field Office is submitting a Special Action Request to the Federal Subsistence Board, through OSM, seeking temporary authority from the Board to allow the BLM Glennallen Office Field manager to open a 10 day season should caribou enter federally managed lands between October 1 and October 21, 2016 when the Unit is closed for three weeks between seasons.To date approximately 70 caribou have been harvested by subsistence hunters whereas in a more normal year, the federal subsistence harvest would be in the 100's. There is a 5­day reporting requirement. The State has extended their season by 10 days due to lack of accessibility to caribou by hunters due to the delayed migration. The BLM manager is requesting delegated the authority to open a 10 day season between October 1 and October 21 should caribou finally migrate in the vicinity of or across federal lands. This would require the flexibility to announce a season rather than extend the current one. Should their migration not occur before the October 21 start of the winter season, the extension would not be announced.
