FAIRBANKS - Heavy snow is creating difficult driving conditions on the Parks Highway and travelers are advised to avoid the area Friday.
A travel advisory issued by the Alaska Department of Transportation says high winds and 2 to 12 inches of heavy, wet snow has been reported on the 180-mile stretch of highway between Denali State Park and Fairbanks.
High winds are causing drifting and blowing snow and visibility is poor. State crews are working on the roadways, but snow is expected to fall for the next 12 hours. If drivers do travel on the Parks Highway, they are advised to slow down, turn on their headlights and watch for snowplows.
On the Steese Highway, 12 Mile and Eagle Summit are impassible due to high winds and drifting snow and crews have closed the gates. Crews are working on the roads.
