    The Ketchikan City Council appointed former member Abby Bradberry last week to fill a vacancy left by the resignation of Mark Flora. Longtime member Flora stepped down from the council on Feb. 20, saying he needed to focus on personal priorities. During a special meeting March 17, the council interviewed four candidates interested in filling the seat. In addition to Bradberry, the council heard from Dion Booth and David Dentinger, who both ran last fall, and Bronson Olson, who ran in 2021.

    Crews continue to clear Thursday’s Wolfe Point rockslide, where the slope remains unstable. The Alaska Department of Transportation said it hopes to achieve intermittent single lane access by Monday. The slide came down Thursday morning and completely covered Tongass Highway, just north of the airport. It left people who live north of the slide cut off from city services and the airport indefinitely. There were no injuries reported from the slide.

    UPDATE 9 p.m. Saturday 3/21/2025: Officials say the section of Tongass Highway blocked by Thursday’s slide will remain closed through the weekend. Because the cleanup process is slow, crews now plan to construct a temporary, single-lane bypass they hope to open early this week. The Alaska Department of Transportation says crews will begin constructing the bypass Sunday morning, which will be a one-lane, gravel flagger-controlled detour with limited hours of operation.
