The Alaska Department of Transportation has begun its spring cleaning of roadways on the Kenai Peninsula.
According to the department’s website, sweepers are already at work cleaning the Sterling Highway in Soldotna. The department will expand to cleaning other state-owned roads on the Kenai Peninsula in the coming weeks.
Motorists can expect to see sweeper trucks and water trucks for dust control. The department urges drivers to stay at least 100 feet behind these vehicles and not pass on the right-hand side. The department also says these vehicles may cause small rocks to become airborne, and urges caution when passing.
