Check that out, some nice movement happening in King Cove!A major milestone for the King Cove-Cold Bay Road Project: a barge carrying equipment and materials has arrived in King Cove, supporting stockpiling and preparations for the work ahead.
DOT&PF is proud to work alongside the King Cove community. In fewer than five days, more than 20 local residents took time away during the fishing season to complete safety training and earn DOT&PF certificates supporting their participation in this important project. Five additional community members are enrolled in a four-week course to earn their Class A commercial driver’s licenses.
This investment is about more than building a road-it is also about creating local skills, employment opportunities, and lasting benefits. We are honored to work with the people of King Cove to advance a road the community has sought for generations.
