Alaska pipe lays final segment of trans-Alaska pipeline
Workers toiled through six feet of snow on steep terrain to place the last pipe for the $8 billion, 800 mile project. The line near Thompson Pass faced winter but was completed ahead of a major snowstorm. 20,000 workers helped during peak activity as 160 miles remain for pressure testing next spring. Oil destination remains uncertain with federal priorities and potential swaps under discussion.
