US to reject access road to northern Alaska mining district, Politico reports

The Biden administration is set to reject the construction of an access road to the Ambler mining district in northern Alaska, Politico reported on Tuesday, citing two people with knowledge on the decision. The U.S. Interior Department's recommendation to end the project in its current form could come in an environmental analysis due later this week, the report said. The Interior Department did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
