Alaska Department of Transportation said the Rabbit Creek Pedestrian Bridge casing and roof blew down at about 2:30 a.m. on Sunday. It crossed the New Seward Highway near Bell’s Nursery and De Armoun Road. Debris closed the highway.
The debris has been moved and all lanes of the Seward Highway are now open. The 70-mph winds caused damage around Southcentral, and heavy rain and snow in upper elevations followed the wind.
