Thanks for road work

To the editor:

Having lived in some “winter rich” locales in the past 50 years, I wanted to pass along my heartfelt thanks to the good men and women of the Alaska Department of Transportation and the excellent folks at the Mat-Su Road Maintenance Department.

Traveling to and from Anchorage twice a day for several years, the diligence and consistent effort made by these public servants is very much appreciated.

I have seen DOT equipment poised on the ramps of the Glenn Highway waiting for a break in traffic to continue their good works. Complaints are always a way of life, and with our roads, summer and winter, there is always a great story in the making.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say “thank-you and job well done” to all the people who keep us moving each and every day. Your outstanding public service is noted.
