The Alaska Highway south of Whitehorse has partially reopened following a multi-vehicle collision that led to the road’s closure for several hours on Monday. The Department of Highways and Public Works announced that as of 1:30 p.m., one lane was accessible for alternating traffic flow. Earlier in the day, both lanes had been shut down between the Carcross cut-off and Judas Creek. Motorists were rerouted using the South Klondike Highway and Tagish Road.
According to an RCMP news release issued shortly before 10 a.m., the collision occurred three kilometers south of the Carcross cut-off. Specific details about the incident have not yet been disclosed. Drivers are cautioned to anticipate delays and can monitor updates on 511Yukon for the latest information.
