**Site Location**
This site is located at the Big Salt Road, N. POW Highway and the
Thorne Bay Road intersection. This is one of the main feeder
intersection bringing travelers from Coffman Cove, Whales Pass,
Naukati and Thorne Bay which will lead them to the other
communities Craig, Klawock, Hollis and Hydaburg. Thorne Bay is
where the main barge company has there dock and their warehouse
facility is in Craig about 39 miles from point A to Point B. Camera
views point in all road directions giving our Maintenance crews an
up to the minute update on the highways condition.
**Site Rationale**
This site is at the cross roads of Big Salt Lake Road, N. POW
Highway and Thorne Bay Road. The RWIS information provides winter
weather information directly to the maintenance staff and weather
information can be posted to the 511 traveler information site. The
DOT Maintenance Station is located 13 miles from Control Lake RWIS
site. Having air temperature and pavement temperature and cameras
showing the pavement condition and or snow accumulation helps in
the decision of allocating resources during a storm
event.
