After the rockslide, the road has now been closed off. The Alaska Department of Transportation stated that a second rockslide began about 500 feet above the road and it is unclear when the road will be ready to be opened.
According to Alaska's Department of Natural Resources (DNR), rockslides are common in the state and the U.S. Forest Service has documented thousands of occurrences in Alaska's Tongass National Forest.
