On one of Alaska's busiest driving nights of the year, when highways are full of people heading south to the Kenai Peninsula, drivers near Girdwood are being told the Seward Highway will be closed until at least midnight Saturday.

Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman Beth Ipsen confirmed that the closure will remain in effect until midnight, following the collision of a vehicle with a motorcycle at about 7 p.m. near Milepost 91.5 of the highway, just south of the Tesoro gas station at the edge of Girdwood.

Terry Kadel, deputy chief of Girdwood Volunteer Fire and Rescue, said an investigation is expected to last three to five hours and that the highway will remain closed until troopers complete the investigation.

Troopers did not immediately respond to several requests for information, and no official would confirm there was a fatality.
