This camera points west from the Glenn Highway weigh station on the edge of Anchorage and shows traffic heading into the city. It is useful for anyone checking road conditions on the route between Anchorage and the Matanuska-Susitna valley before setting out.

About Anchorage and the highway

Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska, set on Cook Inlet with the Chugach Mountains rising to the east. The Glenn Highway runs north-east from the city toward the Matanuska Valley and the Alaska Range, and it is one of the main links between the city and the interior. The surrounding landscape mixes birch and spruce forest, wetlands and steep mountain slopes.

What you can watch and when

The camera follows traffic on the highway, so you can see how many vehicles are moving inbound and whether the road looks clear or congested. Winter is when the view is most informative, as snow, ice and low daylight change driving conditions quickly. Depending on the weather, the mountains in the distance may be visible or hidden in cloud.

Practical notes on the climate

Anchorage has a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters and cool summers, and daylight varies enormously across the year. Summer brings long evenings and the most stable road conditions. Anyone travelling in winter should check the live view, the local weather and the forecast on this page before leaving, since conditions can change within an hour.
