Road, water and weather conditions provided by RWIS

The Blaquiere Point Road Weather Information Station operated by the Alaska Dept. of Transportation and Public Facilities generates both images and weather information for public access via a variety of communications methods including the internet. The station shows views of the launch ramp and a view of the Stikine River tide flats (bottom image). Another station operates near Banana Point at Mile 27.4 of the Mitkof Highway. A view of the Middle Arm tide flats is shown as posted on Oct. 11 at 5:30 p.m. ADOTPF uses the information to schedule road maintenance as well as to provide the public with a view of weather and roadway conditions at its two Mitkof Island locations.
