No. 19 opens commercial fishing with drift gillnets in Drift Gillnet Area 1, the Expanded Kenai, Expanded Kasilof, and Anchor Point sections of the Central District from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Monday, July 18, 2022.

As a result of the blasting activities, a full closure of the Seward Highway will be warranted from mile point 17 to 22.5, near Moose Pass. Once the highway is cleaned and inspected for safety, the roadway will be opened to single-lane traffic with flagging operations.

The closures are being done to protect returning late-run king salmon and ensure future sport fishing opportunities.

Drivers should expect delays of 30 minutes or more. The closure occurred due to a bridge washout from flash flooding.

The 2022 PFDs will be a single payment to all eligible Alaskans with applications that have been approved by September 9th and selected direct deposit on their application.

The fishing time provided in this announcement is intended to harvest sockeye salmon returning to the Kenai and Kasilof rivers.
