RECENT ROAD CONDITIONS 12 May - 12 June 2008 Yellowhead Highway: 14-16 May. Jasper to Prince Rupert   Good condition; no construction delays. Cassiar Highway: 16-18 May.   Good asphalt from south junction to Bell II (150 miles)   Good newer seal coat from Bell II to Bob Quinn Lake, then older surface to Iskut. Watch out for pot holes and pavement breaks in older stretches. Five miles of gravel north of Burrage Creek. New surface north of Burrage Creek.   Newer seal coat from Iskut to north of Dease Lake, with a mile of gravel south of Stikine River crossing and three miles of gravel north. May be some construction on north side of crossing due to 2007 slide.   Gravel starts at Water's Edge Campgound and ends at north end of Dease Lake. This is hard-packed brown clay and usually as good as pavement. Shoulders get soft in wet weather.   Older seal coat starts at Jade City with pavement breaks and pot holes. Stretches of new pavement. 20 miles south of junction (Blue River) a 15 mile stretch of wide pavement breaks begins. These breaks were muddy when we passed through but are probably patched with gravel by now.   Cassiar Highway generally has little or no shoulder area. Watch for washed out shoulders, and stay off new shoulder gavel. No gas available at Meziadin Junction. Glacier Highway to Stewart/Hyder in good condition except some slide clearing near Bear Gacier. Alaska Highway: 17-19 May. Watson Lake to Tok   Major construction along south shore of Kluane Lake. Frost heaves and dips from Burwash Landing to Border. Expect dusty stretches of new stones. In Alaska, pavement breaks persist from earthquake damage. Asphalt surface with fewer frost heaves due to higher ground. Tok Cutoff: 19 May.   Good pavement to pass. Pavement breaks in pass and especially in Slana Flats area. Some new stones south of pass. Frost heaves increase approaching Glennallen. Richardson Highway: May 19. Glennallen to Valdez.   Frost heaves north and south of Glennallen, decreasing approaching Thompson Pass. No construction delays encountered. Glenn Highway: May 20-22.
