ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Last call at the pass!

Hatcher Pass that is, and Wasilla-Fishhook Road will be closing on Thursday for the season. Gates will shut down the road from milepost 17.5 to milepost 32 for the winter.

The Alaska Department of Transportation made the announcement Wednesday.

Last year, the road closure happened on Sept. 20, so drivers had a little extra fall drive time this year. The road reopens in the spring, with no firm date announced.
