Map of Project Areas
We are working to improve surface transportation facilities in three (3) locations in the Fairbanks North Star Borough under the FAST Improvement Program.
The purpose of this project is to resurface twelve roads in the Aztec Road Service Area in North Pole, install a crosswalk with rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) on College Road, and construct access and parking improvements to the 2nd Avenue Dog Park in Fairbanks.
The existing roads in the Aztec service area are a mix of gravel and pavement surfaces (see Aztec Area Road List below) and require a high frequency of maintenance activities. This project will pave the gravel roadways and repave the paved surfaces to extend the road life and alleviate maintenance needs. Pedestrian crossing counts warrant a treatment at College Road near the Farmer’s Market, installing signs with flashing beacons and a crosswalk will improve safety for pedestrians. The current gravel access road to the 2nd Avenue Dog Park will be paved along with a parking area to reduce maintenance needs and improve drivability.

Our project staff is currently working on transitioning from design to construction.
This project is being constructed in cooperation with the Alaska Division of the Federal Highway Administration, FAST Planning, FNSB Borough Parks and Rec division, and FNSB Rural Services.
