The Alaska Department of Natural Resources is installing gates at Haines most popular bear viewing area: the Chilkoot River Corridor.
It’s the first step in the effort to improve the road. While the work is happening this week, vehicle access is limited.
State parks staff say locals shouldn’t worry about the gate restricting access to the recreation area in the future.
