The road is closed from Kobuk Avenue through the North Chandalar Drive intersection.
During the closure, access between east and west campus areas is via Kuskokwim Way,

North Chandalar Drive is closed to through traffic at the fire station. A detour route
around the Yukon Drive work, which was established earlier on Kobuk Avenue and Colville

Access to the Chancellor's Residence, Colville Street and Stuart Hall is from West
Yukon Drive and Kobuk Avenue. Access to the North Chandalar Drive residences, Bunnell
House day care and Walsh Hall remains open from North Chandalar, which can be entered
from a temporary entrance at its western end that connects to Kuskokwim Way.
Pedestrians can reach the North Chandalar Drive residences, Bunnell House and Walsh
