Project Description

The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) proposes to upgrade the Old Steese Highway between the 3rd Street and Johansen Expressway intersections. 

The purpose of the project is to improve traffic flow and safety for motorized and non-motorized users along the corridor.  Proposed project improvements include:

  • Sidewalk widening and ADA improvements
  • Addition of roadway shoulders, traffic through, right and left turn lanes
  • Traffic signal and street lighting upgrades

The project has been broken into two segments (stages):

  1. Reconstruct the road between Kutter Road intersection to the Johansen Expresseway intersection.
  2. Re-pave the road between the 3rd Street intersection to the Kutter Road intersection

The project's design has been developed and is completed. In preparation for construction, AKDOT&PF is currently in the process of acquiring Right-of-Way needed for the project.

Current Milestones:

  • 2023-2024 acquire Right-of-Way
  • Spring 2026 Begin Construction
