Site Description
**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.
