Inbound traffic on the Glenn Highway was severely backed up north of Eagle River early Thursday, the day after the Glenn's southbound lanes were closed in the area due to an 18-wheeler's load striking an overpass.
Anchorage School District spokeswoman Catherine Esary said schools have no delayed start times or closures Thursday. ASD is working with police to handle Thursday morning's traffic concerns.
According to a Twitter post from ASD, if parents decide to keep their child home from school, absences and tardies will be excused; students will have the opportunity to make up any missed work.
