The State is looking into western Alaska road access. The Department of Transportation (DOT) is seeking proposals for a feasibility study of routes to connect the interior highway system with bush communities to the west. DOT Northern Region chief of planning Jerry Rafson Raphson says no specific development project is driving the effort.
