Steese Highway / Johansen Expressway Area Traffic Improvements (GO BOND)
DOT&PF has finalized the Traffic Study for the Steese Highway / Johansen Expressway Area Traffic Improvements
project. Links to the Traffic Study can be found at right. Ideas addressed in the Traffic Study include new pedestrian
facilities, signalized intersections, roundabouts, a continuous flow intersection, interchanges, flyovers, turn lanes, road
extensions, railroad crossings, Old Steese Highway realignment, and a one-way circulation route.
DOT&PF is also working with the City of Fairbanks to design and construct the Helmericks Avenue Extension
and Bentley Trust Road Upgrade project, which will extend Helmericks Avenue to a junction with College Road and realign
and upgrade the Bentley Trust Road to intersect Helmericks Avenue. This project also proposes to signalize the intersection
of Bentley Trust Road and the Old Steese Highway.
DOT&PF is continuing to analyze the results of the Traffic Study and public involvement to develop additional
projects for design and construction.
The goal of the Steese Expressway / Johansen Expressway Traffic Improvements project is to relieve congestion
and improve safety in the rapidly developing commercial area in northeast Fairbanks.
