Construction update -- June 8, 2018
|
It isn't summer without construction, and there's plenty of it on and around the Fairbanks campus. The work will make sure our buildings and roadways function safely and well. Driving, parking and walking will be affected, so be sure to plan ahead and give yourself extra time to reach your destination. Follow the signs, be patient and safe, and have a great summer!

The museum can be reached from North Tanana Loop and from the west end of Tanana Loop until mid-July, after which the west end of Yukon Drive will be limited to one lane, and the museum can be reached from the east side of Yukon.
