Abstract:
Dennis talks about construction of the North Slope Haul Road (Dalton Highway) and his role in design and construction of the Yukon River bridge. He discusses the challenges of engineering and building in the cold conditions of Alaska and dealing with permafrost, the unique design and structure of the bridge and building it strong enough to withstand flooding and being hit by moving ice during spring breakup, and the timeline of the project in coordination with the broader road construction project and work being held up while Native land claims were settled.
