Some of the city’s road maintenance crews haven’t had a day off in about 30 days. Officials blame “a perfect storm of bad conditions” for the mess.
Large ice potholes formed in Spring-like weather made for difficult driving in a Midtown Anchorage parking on Thursday, March 3, 2022.
You’re not imagining it. It is worse than usual. For weeks, Anchorage has been dealing with some seriously bad road conditions. Some of the city’s road maintenance crews haven’t had a day off in about 30 days, he said, and are working around the clock. VanLandingham said residents should see continued improvements to Anchorage roads in the next week to 10 days., plus some heavy rain, backed up the city’s plowing efforts.
The ongoing freeze-thaw cycle at some points blocked drains, leaving nowhere for meltwater to run. That led to flooded roads, and meltwater which re-froze into the thick sheets of ice now blanketing many city streets. Ice sheets are between 4 and 8 inches deep, he said.
